Calanda

Saturday morning and I am the designated driver for 4 members of the Amas de Casa of Torre del Compte to visit an exhibition of patchwork and lacemaking presented by the Amas de Casa group in the (relatively) nearby village of Calanda.


The exhibition is taking place in the very large Multiusos hall and has specialist stalls selling everything you would need to produce lace - except the know how!


People are there from not just the local villages but from far and wide across the region.


Rosario, Rosi, (wearing her Amas de Casa t-shirt), Carmen and Margaret, pose for a photograph in front of a patchwork bedspread.


Young and old settle down to practise their skills at bobbin lacemaking...


...while some designs just look so incredibly complicated!

It's good to see that these activities are still thriving.
