Jan's Autumn Fairy |
What a Wonderful Weekend!
We had been invited to The Wirrall by Marion and Gerry Frost of Patchwork Cutters who often run demonstration and Workshop weekends at their fantastic complex near Greasby. We both loved the Countryside and the weather held well until the aftermath of Hurricane Nadine hit the UK on our journey home. The traffic was disrupted as the skies opened, unleashing oceans of rain and gale force winds across the South which steadily moved northwards meeting us on our way back to Kent.

It didn't matter though, the journey was well worth it - we were treated like guests by Marion, Gerry and all the friendly ladies who attended. Northern Hospitality is all we could have wished for - we felt like Royalty - and I have no talent, remember!

The demonstrations and the Workshops were fully booked covering Tiny Shoes, Fancy Dressed Babies and Fairies from Frankie and some intricate cutter pieces from Marion. The finished work was excellent and everybody took a completed fairy home. Many ladies also made the most of Frankie's new book having arrived just the day before we left and signed copies were eagerly purchased to compliment the Tiny Shoe Cutter Set.

Our huge thanks to Gerry, Marion and everybody who made our weekend memorable and fun. Even Nadine couldn't take the edge of our enjoyment.
