Thanks very much Dorispa and Bluelady. I hope that you are having a good weekend.

Welcome from the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, from a quilter who is missing her four grandkids (and their parents) who reside in beautiful Granada, Spain.

Hi and welcome from Michigan.

Thank you all so much. I know how you feel Emmah as our grandsons live in London, not as far away as yours though.

Hi from South Africa!:)

To dotsie and calano1 I was born and raised in southern rhodesia where I married an Englishman and emigrated to England where we had our family and where they all still reside.We retired to Spain 7yrs ago. South Africa is close to my heart as Mom was from the Cape and my brother lives there now. I visit old friends and family in the Cape and Joburg every 2/3 years - the "call" of Africa is such! Nice to meet you.

Well hello my dear quilting buddy, how lovely to see you joining us here!!

I look forward to seeing what you are making these days, are you still doing the silk embroidery?

Hugs Izy xx

Welcome from the Florida Panhandle. I went to Cartagena and Malaga last fall. Very pretty - are you near those two cities?
