Our first
workshop, last Saturday. Yes, we (fellow Feathergirl Hubertine (click) and I)
were a bit nervous, but also excited. Excited to see how we would do, which new
people we would meet, would they enjoy what we had come up with for them, what
would the atmosphere be like…
As it turned
out we had nothing to worry about. With the organization of the day in the
capable hands of the ‘hostess with the mostest’ Dorry (click ), her beautiful shop next door on the
premises (there were so many ladies who wanted to attend Dorry was kind enough
to open up her home for the workshop) and a lovely, fun and energetic group of
quilters ready to do some serious scrap busting, it was a fun filled day.
We were happy
to share our idea’s, patterns and stories, the ladies present were happy to
share their enthusiasm and their stories.
An
impression….

Time for some
action!
A yummy lunch a.o. home made quiche, home made soup, and traditional regional sausage buns
As it happens
it was the Carnival/Mardi Gras weekend and one of the floats of the local
Carnival organisation was kept and later on wheeled out of storage at Dorry’s
farm
Alaaf, Dorry!

Wat een geniet-dag zullen jullie hebben gehad daar bij Dorry! Ik kan me best voorstellen, dat dit heel spannend was, en dat je enigszins nerveus was van tevoren, maar zo te zien en lezen was het gewoon helemaal geweldig! En dat winkeltje is zo leuk (en die lunch ziet er ook verrukkelijk uit)! Fijn, dat jullie zoveel dames een heerlijke dag hebben bezorgd.
