Daffodil Flower Class

DATELINE: July 21, 2013
Patricia E Lyon

We offered one morning class at Khnar Thmei Village in the Methodist Church. Tony mentioned many children would come to the class. (Oh Dear). What if 30 or more children showed up in bare feet with needles, pins and clippers all around? As it turned out, there were small children but also older children and adults. One mother held a tiny toddler in her lap as she sewed. As I went over to see her project, the little girl screamed in fear and cried. I scared her! Big blonde woman with glasses. Very scary.

Later, I looked up at Tony and Deanna and we noticed together the joy of sewing. You could hear a pin drop, literally, in this case. The class lasted three hours for some. Beautiful yellow flowers, fabric donated from a Presbyterian woman in Vernon, and a woman who is a friend of a friend in Delafield.

After worship yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Sok came up to have a look at the flower I was wearing. They liked. They want also for Bos Kralanh Village. After a meeting, we went on a search through the market for certain yellow fabrics. Difficult to find, but when we the right person saw the example, she knew. She knew. What an adventure.

P.S. Before worship, I found only one needle and one pin on the floor from the day before. And it was not in someone's foot!
