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!

Congratulations on retiring!!!!!!

hi MaryKatherine

congratulations on retiring and let me know when exactly you come to my hometown..................
All you can do in our quiltshops (cotton and color was already mentioned) is do get a big scare about the prices. lol

Granny

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.

Wheeeeeee!!!!! You're retired!!
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!!:D

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.

Oh but there are so many countries so close at hand ... you can do more than one a day! :) ENJOY your trip!
What quilt is going on the holiday with you?

The purple batik one. It was the girlfriend who requested the colours.
(We ARE spending a few days in Paris on the way back)
