Last evening was the closing banquet for the Rock, Needle, Scissors 2017
EAC Seminar. (I would have posted about it last evening but my head cold was really acting up). The meal consisted of salad, roast salmon with rice and vegetables and a rich, creamy, custard crème brûlée with raspberries and cream. Delicious!
As part of the banquet scene, the hosting guild has favors for each guest. Our guild, St. John's Guild of Embroiderers', spent the last two years making cute little pincushion
puffins. This particular bird is the national bird of Newfoundland Labrador. Each puffin was hand embroidered and then stitched together. We made over 160 + (I did know the exact number but . . .)! In any case, they were a hugh hit with everyone. These first two photos were taken a few weeks ago.

A few leftover puffins were put on silent auction. For those of you unfamiliar with Newfoundland place names, the names below are actual places.
Enjoy!!
