Tribute to our grannies

A week ago I came back from Normandy where I was invited to exhibit in a lovely village of Normandy. The event was organised by a local handicraft workshop team, and taking place in a lovely old house. It was divided in 4 parts : exhibitors selling handicrafts , exhibition of the Club's work, embroidery workshops, and a tribute to our grand-mothers. I let you imagine the huge amount of work that is behind it !
