Arts and Crafts

We have many skilled members who enjoy craft sessions. These are some of the things we have learned:-

Christmas table decorations and garlands for the door

Watercolour painting

Crochet

Padded gift boxes

Decorated earthenware

Patchwork

To commemorate forty years of DEWI, members embroidered a cherry tablecloth for the president's table. This project was co-ordinated by Pam Berkley and Birgit Stone, and many members embroidered a few cherries each. The central panel of the cloth is shown in the picture.

Imagination is allowed to run riot in the WI, an example of which was the Surrey scarecrow competition to commorate 90 years of WI in Surrey - 1918 to 2008. A group of DEWI members created "Emily Tate the scarecrow" - half of her was a suffragette and the other half was Catherine Tate ("am I bovvered?")
