    Have a wonderful trip!
    Since I'm taking over a quilt I'll just have to fill that suitcase with something.
    I did finish enlarging the OBW, I just haven't photographed it and posted it yet.
    Thanks again for finding the material.
    PS I retired today!

    From what I've gleaned from this board, the prices on your side of the pond are higher. I just thought it might be nice to get the feel of a quilt shop in another country and maybe a piece of fabric that would remind me of this trip. I really don't have anything in mnd. We're flying over on the 2nd/3rd and I know we have tickets to see Leonard Cohen the following night. But I intend to drag a few bewildered men to some things I want to see. They can sit on a bench outside.

    Wonder? whatever will you do with all your time now?
    Look forward to seeing the debut of the renovated OBW ... whenever!!
    For now, I suspect you are tad busy, getting ready to fly away!!

    Have a wonderful retirement holiday ...... just Switzerland? or other European destinations?

    No not a lot. We're visiting Ed's son who is now a citizen of Switzerland. He doesn't come back often as he is so taken with the life in Europe. One trip a year is all we'll be able to afford for a long time. Now that we've got some dry weather I can get a picture of the OBW. I think I bought four yards and used up every inch.

    The purple batik one. It was the girlfriend who requested the colours.

    I think that it's the biggest shop in Switzerland. The prices are higher here!
    Thanks. I've found it on line!
