I was a little annoyed that I would have to miss this meeting as I had to attend Council in London but relieved as I had seen and heard Marie before, at Padiham. Marie had everyone intrigued as her title was BOUTIS. Ann said afterwards
We had a very enjoyable meeting on Tuesday evening with Marie Lewis passing on her love of “ Boutis “ She brought some beautiful pieces of her work, some traditional some modern but all so fine and detailed.This work encouraged lots of people to sign up for the workshop in a few weeks which is now full.
We all wished Phil a belated 80th birthday and also Happy Birthday to Julie Karen and Susan for milestone birthdays in May.
Ann sent me photos below and again I am unable to attend the workshop but delighted that it is full.
