My friend Caroline has been here visiting me from the Netherlands. We have been having a simply wonderful time, doing so many things: quilt stores, sightseeing, eating, visiting friends - oh so much to do and the days just go by so quickly. And tomorrow she will return to the Netherlands and home.We visited my Dutch teacher for coffee and conversation:
[hopefully my Dutch has improved a bit]. With luck, I will be able to visit the Netherlands again and Caroline and our friend Jacqueline will be able to come back here in a year or so.
While Caroline has been here we have been "required" to visit so many quilt shops and "sample" a few of their wares. So my stash has only been increased in a modest way (that's what Caro said!) I will have a few things to show you over the next few months. I did get the border put on oldest grandaughter's quilt:
Stone Soup Quilts is starting again, along with CTA and the sewing classes for the African women. Life is getting busy again with the arrival of autumn. I'll keep you posted on this good life.
