21.01.2022 Throwback Thursday: The CWA of Australia asked each State Association to design and produce a tapestry depicting the first ten years of their State’s history. ...Mrs M Chatterton drew the design for the South Australian panel, Mrs R V Knowles transferred the design on to the canvas and in 1970 work on the canvas commenced. It was a huge task, not completed until 1973, mostly completed by Mrs A D Murdoch. The principal motif is a farming scene at Klemzig, copied from a watercolour by George French Angas. The border includes numerous features of early SA, there is whaling at Encounter Bay, Kapunda copper mine, Glen Osmond tollgate, the overlanders with sheep and cattle and grapes, Sturt Desert Pea and wattle. The tapestry hangs in the meeting room of Mary Walker House at 30 Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town. Next time you are at State Office, pop up and admire the beautiful workmanship. The last photo shows a tapestry depicting the Eyre Peninsula which was unveiled at the 80th Birthday SACWA Expo and birthday celebrations in Wudinna in June 2009. The tapestry involved 25 Branches on the Eyre Peninsula and took over two years to complete. The tapestry is a map of Eyre Peninsula with icons representing the various towns. The background colour changes as one moves closer to the coast and Port Lincoln and shows birds of the various areas. Farming is vital to all branches as the towns developed around farming. The border displays the many wildflowers to be seen on the Eyre Peninsula. Prue Cook was instrumental in designing and completing the tapestry. @ Adelaide, South Australia

13.01.2022 Throwback Thursday: Today we focus on Mary Walker House. MWH is the administrative and handicrafts hub of the SACWA. The property at 30 Dequetteville Terrace ...was purchased in 1951 and became The Club. Built alongside, MWH was opened by Sir Thomas Playford on August 9th, 1963. The building was named after Mary Walker who retired as Honorary State Secretary after 16 years. The most memorable exhibition ever staged in MWH was during the Festival of Arts in March 1966. Our Patron at the time, Lady Bastyan attended the Exhibition which ran for 17 days. Mary Walker House, at any time of the day and often into the night is a hive of activity. The Handicraft Shop is always busy be that with customers, handicraft meetings or handicraft schools. Our front reception area always has a lovely display of home produced goods be it jams, chutneys or hand knitted blankets and throws or our popular cook books, tea towels, Laucke scone mix and more. Drop by and say hello. See more

03.01.2022 Throwback Thursday: Did anyone see Marty Smith’s Remember When column in #theadvertiser yesterday? We all know the wonderful SACWA shop in Auburn but did anyon...e know about the shop in Clare? Trove (trove.nla.gov.au) has a lot of articles about the Branch and the shop. There is a really interesting article that is too long for social media but is well worth a read, cut and paste this in to your search engine https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/97264758#. The article details the Branches seventh Annual Report and was written for the Northern Argus on 30 July 1943. It is a very interesting read As we have worked through another year of war our path of progress somewhat interrupted by the increased difficulties of transport and further rationing regulations we have been greatly encouraged by the loyal and generous support of our members. They were difficult times but the community really pulled together. The Branch was very involved in the war efforts with knitting, camouflage nets, selling badges fo the ‘Cheer Up’ Fund, parcels of magazines fo the Royal Navy and more.

03.01.2022 Throwback Thursday: Tomorrow would have been the first day of the #royaladelaideshow, but as you can see from the newspaper clipping this is not the first time ...it has been cancelled (due to the Spanish Flu and WWII). In 1931 the SACWA opened its first Show Rest Room, No. 11, under the grandstand. It was a ‘pleasant little room’ where Mrs Warnes and Mrs Dolling spent every spare minute ‘when not conducting meetings of town and country members’ chatting with members. Mrs Shephard remembered that she and other energetic Younger Set members used to take a big jug to the dairy cattle section and received a supply of fresh milk for the Rest Room. On September 8th, 1936, Lady Gowrie opened the SACWA’s own Show Rest Room (the same year that the first of the seaside cottages were open and the opening of the Elliston Rest Room, specifically built for SACWA).
