The winner of the NAWMA (Northern Area Waste Management Authority) Award for the textile piece best depicting the theme of Reduce., Re-use and Recycle from the July Quilting Exhibition was Margaret Howse with her quilt called "The Unworn Parts" which was made of denim pieces and pockets.
NAWMA (alias Theresa) said she thought that as the denim had been originally used to keep a body warm, it was only fitting that it has now been re-used in a quilt to keep another body warm. This quilt is hanging in the Gallery and is for sale.
The winners of the beautiful raffle quilts were Jane Jansen and Judy Ferguson, who are delighted with their prizes.

There is a SALA (South Australian Living Artists) Exhibition in the Gallery until 24th August.
An Art Group, called "Amity", comprising of Carol Clue, Colleen Gates, Pat Low, Dorothy Beverley, Brian Windebank, Chris Pisani, Mike Way, Phil Bolding and Dianne Vagg, has a display of works in three rooms of the Gallery.
Their work includes watercolours, acrylics, and a lovely selection of Textile Pieces by Pat Low with paper collage and fine felted landscapes. Colleen Gates has been busy with her knitting needles and has a display of her winter hats and scarfs, and Chris Pisani has some wonderful paintings of vintage cars on show.
Shirley Shaw, with her collection called Fun, Funky and Functional, is showing her talent once again with work including fantasy dolls, beading, feltwork, and jewellery to suit all tastes.
The official opening of this Exhibition by the Mayor of Playford, Martin Lindsell, was attended by almost a hundred well wishers, and there has been a steady stream of visitors to the Gallery since then.
