Masonic Musings Building Bridges
William Maroney Church was a WW1 veteran who joined the 1st A.I.F. on 17/7/1915, aged 18 years, 10 months.
He was discharged on 3/8/1919, having spent 1303 days abroad, and joined the Tungamah/ St. James R.S.L. SubBranch in 1921, was awarded RSL Life Membership in 1947
and throughout his life span maintained a strong RSL relationship. The Government recognised his service to Australia on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of ANZAC. He died at Yarrawonga on 31/12/1990 aged 94 years. William Maroney Church was also a staunch Freemason and a member of Ionic Lodge (now 125 years old) at Tungamah, and
on being presented with his 50 year Membership Jewel in 1984 recited the following poem which he had learnt as a young man in his thirties:“ An old man going on a lone highway Came at evening cold and grey To a chasm, vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The swollen stream had no fears for him, But he turned when on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide, Old man, said a pilgrim resting near, You are wasting your strength in building here, You never again will pass this way, Your journey will end with the closing day, You have crossed the
chasm, vast and deep and wide, Why build this bridge at eventide? The old man turned to the pilgrim and said: Yonder friend, in the path I’ve tread, There followeth me this day a youth Whose feet must pass this way; The sullen stream which was nought to me,
To that fine youth may a pitfall be. He too must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I have built this bridge for him.” I only recently came across that poem and found it appealing. Accordingly I learnt it and was able to recite it to the many friends who attended my “last night” on July 6th. On that night
at 10pm I was 10 feet tall. At 10am the following morning I was again at the Lodge, this time to remove the left over rubbish. My old mum had a saying “After the Lord Mayor’s carriage comes the night cart”. Think about it. Cheers Stan Clarke WM103

Local textile artist in Melbourne fair Yarrawonga local and highly renowned textile artist, Susan Mathews will be one of the exhibitors at the upcoming Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair, July 28-31 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre with her quilt entitled, Falling Through The Cracks on display as part of the Victorian Quilters Showcase.
Susan’s quilts are among more than 400 quilts included in this exquisite exhibition, highlighting the diverse creative talents of the members of the Victorian Quilters Inc. Susan’s quilt took her over a week to create and utilised a variety of techniques including printing and free machine stitching. “The quilt is based on a photo I took while in a village in France called Conques. The work depicts a cobbled street in which there is a hand hewn stone grate.
Conques is one of the 49 “Most Beautiful Villages in France”. The quilt was part of my solo exhibition in the Community Hall, Yarrawonga over the long weekend in June and has also been displayed in the Beechworth Fabric and Fibre Award at the Old Schoolhouse Gallery.” Susan has been quilting since 1975 when she made her first quilt for her brother’s 21st birthday and fell in love with it. Susan became a prolific quilter completing 300 quilts to date and has had her work showcased in exhibitions in Australia and overseas. “I love quilting as it allows me to use many techniques, from printing techniques, dyeing and fabric painting, mixed media, sewing machine techniques to create works of art,” said Susan. The Craft & Quilt Fair is Australia’s
biggest craft event and features an exciting mix of world class displays, a comprehensive range of hands-on classes and workshops and the greatest craft products from both international and local suppliers. For the first time ever, there’s also the unique opportunity to share your craft ideas and get your name in print – with a book of the best craft tips set to be published! For all those with a craft design, idea or tip or two to share – the interactive Tree of Knowledge provides an opportunity for crafters to write then hang their tip on the giant tree. The Tree of Knowledge will tour all the Craft & Quilt Fair events nationwide with the best 101 tips posted, set to be published in a book. Highlight displays at the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair will include more than 400 quilts from the
Victorian Quilters Inc, including the Best of Australia quilts. There will also be a selection of finalists’ entries in the 2011 AP&Q AQC Challenge where artists were invited to create a quilt inspired by the theme ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ – resulting in a highly eclectic and diverse mix of interpretations. Four special guest artists will showcase each of their inspiring crafts - Liz DeLuca will be demonstrating the art of glass bead making; Louise Snook will reveal the secrets to screen printing and show easy ways to print your own fabric; Rachel Greig will be creating beautiful papercraft with stamp art; and Kay Haerland will demonstrate her amazing techniques which create realistic pictures from textiles. Visitors will also have the unique opportunity to buy up big from specialty retailers selected from all
Falling Through The Cracks by Susan Mathews. The quilt is 71cm high x 103cm wide and is an art quilt rather than a bed quilt. over Australia with the latest supplies for crafty folks ranging from fabrics and buttons to beautifully embellished papers and tools.
The Craft & Quilt Fair is on from July 2831 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 9am to 5pm with a special late night opening on
Saturday, July 30 until 7pm. Entry is $16 for adults, $15 concession, $8 for children 5-16 years and family passes (2 adults, 2 children) $39.
