Handicraft Competition
Highlight Of WI Year
It was obvious at Thursday
afternoon's WI handicraft display
and tea that members of
, Women's Institute clubs in the
• Red Deer Centre Constituency
had not been idle during the recent
long cold winter evenings.
A total of 340 items of handicraft
were entered in the annual
competition, the results of whieh
will be made known at the June
4 WI Conference.
The judges included Red Deer
district home economist, Mrs.
Donna Carlyle: Mrs. Mona Cox,
clothing specialist from Edmonton;
Miss Sandra Hammer, district
home economist at Athabasca;
Mrs. K. Ditzler and Mrs.
Robert Sharp, both of Lacombe.
The items are judged on the
" Danish" system, that is, on
merit rather than by order of
ranking. Thus all items in one
class could conceivably receive
" first" if they all meet the standards
of judging.
According to Mrs. Carlyle, the
judges found the quality of this
She gave special praise to the
work shown in the classes reserved
for members over 70.
Other comments by the judges
included;
— Knitting, generally good but
some garments were overpres-sed.
The texture or webb should
not be flattened.
— Crochet, definite improvement
in design, but some hanky
edgings w e r e too wide, too
heavy and too brilliantly colored.
— Embroidery tended to be
too naturalistic with too many
harsh colors.
— Counted thread embroidery
was generally excellent.
— Machine embroidery show-;
ed trend to better quality work.
— Cushion covers were generally
excellent with practical
designs and good workmanship.
— Play togs were generally;
excellent but women's dresses
showed some problems with the
zipper, sleeve scam finishes and
hem.
The standards for judging the
clothing and handicrafts are outlined
in Publication No. 476, prepared
and distributed by the
Home Economics Division of the
Extension Service of the Department
of Agriculture. It is available
upon request.
