Easter 2006
April 18th, 2006 by Bumble Bee Quilting
The air is mainly dry and the crowds flock.
We’ve been buzzy Bees down at the Corris Craft Centre, and Bumble Bee Quilting has been as busy as ever.
The patchwork and quilting craft continues apace when the light allows, Amazing how hazy light can make sewing so difficult. Even under daylight bulbs there is not enough contrast to show up what and where you are sewing. A real strain on the already fatigued eyes. Cannot be good for long term vision.
But, retail is going and interest from the visiting public is resonable at best. We too have to make a living.
We have only been here since July 2005, but from our short experience we can say without hesitation that the vast majority of visitors to the craft units are just wasting time between boats for the journey through King Arthur’s Labyrinth.
Of the other 8% who visit the Corris Craft Centre some are genuinely interested in crafting generally, and the rest know the crafters they wish to visit and make the point of seeing them and perhaps no others.
For the 92% however, we are nursing and providing some light entertainment for them and their families whilst they wait their turn underground. In much the same way that the education system nurses younger children and their families before they go up to the bigger schools.
Very disappointing
