A very festive meeting took place on 13th December. There was lots of merriment to be had and some mince pies consumed amid the chats while browsing Lismore Quilts pop up shop and viewing the Christmas tree decorations on display. Following the success of last years decoration swap this year there were even more entries and a huge array of different styles and techniques. We were joined by Executive Chairperson Mary Bell, who travelled down from Dublin. SewEzi tables were exhibited by Yvonne and Clare who was also taking orders. Any one interested in the tables can contact Yvonne at eweziuk@gmail.com Ann Prendergast acted as our quizmaster for a festive fun table quiz. After the quiz Mrs Claus aided by a willing elf distributed a gift for everyone. followed by an outstanding display for our last show and tell of the year.

Our next meeting will take place on Saturday 10 January, doors open at 10am.

On behalf of all of the Committee at Southern Branch we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a stitch filled 2026.
