Jills of All Trades in the Community

Following a further request for the Jills to assist a member of the community with decorating, a practise session was held in the workshop. James, the volunteer helper, erected shelves and a simulated ceiling for the Jills to practise their “cutting in” skills. Thanks to Claire for the beautiful cakes!!
