In January 2008 our SewSewDoll Club invited Arley Berryhill to come...

Arley Berryhill with his design

from his home in New Mexico to teach his workshop "Peacock Lady"to a group of 12 dollmakers .

Tery, who had done all of the planning and communications with Arley, and I went to Newark ,NJ Airport to pick him up. Tery held his photo and we waited in anticipation hoping we would recognize him which we did !


The next day we all met at AnneMarie's home in NJ and spent two fun filled days creating our costumed dolls.


Arley was a lot of fun and who will ever forget his laughing?


Layering different type of fabrics, draping them and selecting colors was the main learning experience of the workshop , but being in AnneMarie's home , her huge lower level party room surrounded with a variety of collected antiques was a treat in itself...
