In so many
ways a wonderful day this Saturday.
After a drive
of almost 2 hours I arrived at Dorry’s farm/shop when the first thing that I
always notice when I arrive there is how wonderfully quiet it is. I always take
a few moments to take that in.
Then it was on
to the house for the Hexagon Event with Dawn Cook Ronningen (click).
The last time
Dawn was in our country we spent a wonderful day looking at her beautiful
quilts at my house and then visited Delft, so it was wonderful to see her again
and meet her husband Mike, who is travelling with her this time.
Dorry (click)
had – as usual- made the most of her AGA and had lots of yummy things waiting
for us.
Many familiar
faces arriving, always great to meet up again with so many fun and sweet
quilters.
All in all it was a great,
fun, inspirational, creative, yummy day with gorgeous weather, lovely people,
great food, beautiful surroundings, lots of stories and lots of laughs.
An impression:
Just a few of
the antique hexagon quilts that Dawn showed, pictures published with the
permission of Dawn:
Some of the
quilts were so thin you could see through them
And some
quilts/tops still had paper pieces in them, a bit of history
And last but
certainly not least, Dorry’s own antique hexagon quilt on the wall in her
living room
A yummy lunch
provided by Dorry and her mum
Then it was on
to the workshop, a great package was waiting for us so we could start sewing
really quickly
In between
lots of other things going on like Betty (click) taking pictures of her beautiful
quilt
Like I said,
it was a superb day, also via this blogpost I would like to thank everyone
involved again for making it so memorable.
Back to the
hexies later today!
