A suggestion for members is when they take rugs to local institutions they have a photo taken and ask for a story of the past. The photo could then be sent to the CWA magazine. CWA Victoria is asking members to knit, crochet or sew cuddly toys, about four or five inches (10cms or 12.5cms) or smaller, in realistic colours for the ACWW world conference in Melbourne. Patterns will be printed in CWA magazines. Members are advised that crocheted rugs and material shopping bags sell well and to send copies of favourite biscuit recipes to smass@bigpond.com.
