The Material Girls- Textiles On the Hill- Bridging Waters exhibition is over! I think we can say it was a success, there was a steady stream of visitors on both days. Saturday a group of ladies travelled from Suffolk and stayed all day. Vanessa from Southend on Sea stayed all day on Saturday and enjoyed the demonstrations so much she came back and stayed for most of Sunday! Apart from those interested in Textiles we had visitors who dropped by to sit at tables outside in the sun and enjoy the home baked cakes. They wandered in and looked at the exhibition and shops too.

Horndon were
hosting visitors from their French twin town and many of them came in for a look. Not only those of a certain age the young
came to view too! It was really special to have Donna and her husband join us from Canada,
Donna is a member of
Articulation! So this weekend the Bridging Waters exhibition were well and truly
internationally viewed.
We must thank our demonstrators Helen Wilson,
Sara Impey,
Lynda Monk,
Janette Bright,
Juliet Bryson and The Material Girls own
Beverley,
Chris and Margaret. We also thank Denise from
Craft Arena for bringing her shop, without their support and generosity the weekend would not have been as successful or entertaining! So thank you. We must also say thank you to
Jane and Peter for their help in arranging the use of the screens, liaising with 'The Swan' and everything else they did. The Material Girls are lucky that we have the support of our families who always are there to help out with the climbing of ladders or carrying of heavy boxes etc. we really appreciate it.
