Update on Warburton Group:
The group has decided to make a felted panel to sew their crochet coral onto. The girls have done a great job. Rather than buy prepreared wool for the felt, the girls took on the challenge of the entire process from the raw fleece. Well done!!! Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. For those interested, the panel will be on display at the Bendigo Sheep & Wool Show in July 2011.
