Yesterday, at the large quilt show, Uschi (from Vienna) and I met up and had coffee and a chat together. As always, it was easy to 'find something to talk about'! and we found we had lots in common - apart from quilting! Uschi has been at the show all week, taking numerous classes. She'll no doubt you about those herself. I was full of admiration that her English is so perfect. Complete command of vocabulary, scarcely any accent, and no hesitation at all. I thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing about my several times in Austria. So another great meeting - short, but perfectly formed >g<

That sounds wonderful Pat! Did you take any pictures? KJ
Sorry KJ. I didn't take my camera and, anyway, most of the time I was eating a giant apple and cinnamon muffin >gg< Uschi was much more restrained with just a nice cup of coffee! I am mentally planning a trip to Austria now - just talking about it made me want to go again. There might even be a quilt show to visit! . In message , KJ writes
Yes, indeed, and we talked about those diamonds and yours! She said she is now going to try Dear Jane. So, if I do ever finish my Dear Jane, I might get to do a quilted diamonds! . In message , Sandy Foster writes
Patti - was this the Festival of Quilts at Birmingham. I went on Thursday. I thought it was better than ever this year.

Oh, you *should*, Pat! They're so much fun! :)
Yes, Irene, that was the one. So glad you enjoyed it. I went on the Friday because I had booked for a lecture (which, in the end, I didn't attend!!!). Yes, I thought the show was magnificent, though I did think that many of the Quilt 2006 group were completely - can't think of a word!! And, I agreed with the judges in most instances >gg< with one or two notable exceptions! Gosh I was tired, though! Three halls was a lot, and I'm sure I missed large sections! .
