Must find European quilt fabric!

I'm so glad you found fabric! Making a quilt out of those memories will be treasured.
My daughter is seeing quite a bit of the world with work. She's asked if there's anything I want from the places she goes. I told her fabric. So far I have pieces from France, Japan, and Australia. All the colors happen to blend well together so far. My plan is to embroider the name of each country on sashing strips between the 9 inch blocks I'll cut out. The only problem is that I'll have to wait quite a few years for her to finish her overseas assignments.

Glad you found some! It's super expensive here. I found a store here that sells €7 a meter. Heaven if your in Europe lol safe travels home

Oh yes, we had some lovely warm summer days this year LOL

The clerk at WM told me one time that every time a certain lady visits here from the UK, she brings an empty suitcase & stocks up on fabric while in the USA. JCY

Sew glad you found fabric Jean....Safe Travels Home...We Miss You!

What a great trip and finally some Fabric! Safe journey home Jean, looking forward to seeing you on the boards again!

StarLover - what a lovely idea and I see someone posted about the International Sue Bonnet - That will make quite a beautiful quilt, can't wait to see it (down the road of course :-)

NO! It was freezing and windy, But I had my warm silk longjohns on every day, plus warm socks, scarf, hat and mittens, and wasn't intolerably cold. We went on walking city tours every day, ranging from 2-5 hours long, of course there is plenty of hot chocolate and "spirits" to warm you from the inside!
