Yesterday, I had great time with a friend from Naperville who is visiting Paris! We had lunch at the musee d'Orsay, and then we visited the musee.
Today I had a nice surprise in the mail: My rows were back! Thank you to every one who worked on them! I can't wait to put them together! They are going to make a wonderful quilt!

Today is a great day! We finally do have internet!! It feels so good to be again connected with the world! And even better, I got to talk to my best friend Sheri! I am so happy!
I received a post card from my daughter who is visiting London, she says: Mom, don't worry, the family is very nice with me and the food is good!
On the quilting side, I loaded on the machine a quilt that my friends made me when I left Belgium for the US. A friend of mine, CJ, had it basted on her machine for me, then I hand quilted the center, big stitches but didn't know what to do for the borders. So I decided to practice free hand feathers with little drawing, it is not perfect but I am quite happy with it. I did 2 borders and will do the 2 others tomorrow and will post a picture...

Quilting on my Long arm in Paris!
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Hi, it is a gorgeous day here in Paris! Nearly 80F!! I am still not connected to internet so it not easy to write very often...
Here is another block I did for my wool applique quilt, I really love these!
I have been quilting lately, yes my Long Arm is now happily running!
I also worked on a mini Round Robin, it is challenging but so much fun! I am sending this one out to Australia on Monday!
Tomorrow my daughter is leaving for London for 4 days, departure is at 4:30 am... Not fun for me!
But she is excited and will try to meet with a friend she has from Naperville!
Have a great day! Val
