WI Flower Show 2012


Last Saturday was the annual Rangeworthy Women's Institute Flower Show where villagers can show off their gardening & creative skills. Once again I was asked to judge the art & craft categories which is always interesting. Unfortunately, this year the fruit & vegetable entries were way down due to the awful weather we have had & a distinct lack of produce. Still, there were plenty of cakes, preserves, photographs, crafts & children's entries. I took a few photos to show you all - I was rather taken by the Swedish cross stitch picture, the patriotic quilt & the patchwork hen!


The scarves will all be donated to a homeless charity.



Beautifully hand knitted  cardigans.


Jewellery & glass crafts.


Lots of artwork.


Veggie cup cakes!


Little wooden mice made by a 10 year old!


Fruit & veg animals.


Herbs & flowers.

  2. Well it looks an excellent turnout to me. The weather has certainly made things difficult in the garden this year, but on the plus side I have still got loads of colour in my garden, much more than previous years.

  8. oh those cup cakes!
    so much creativity going on everywhere, I know the financial situation has caused much hardship but on the plus side its really made everyone dig a bit deeper and achieve things I'm sure they never thought they'd be able to do (me especially).
    Have a great w.e Jayne- hope the horses are well
