Western Challenge

The Western Challenge is normally held in the Spring but this year it was postponed to the Autumn as members were busy with the IQFO in the Spring. The challenge was to make a piece no more than a metre square with a sea theme. Each participant was given a piece of one of the two fabrics used to make the Cú na Mara hangings, perfect colours for the theme. The entries were varied in size, theme and technique, all beautiful, all well crafted. The difficult task of choosing the winner fell to our guest speaker, Terri McNeill. Nessa McMahon from Athlone was the winner with a lovely appliqué piece. Well done to all who entered
