Souvenirs from South Africa

One of the members of Eastern Edge Quilt Guild participated in Valerie Hearder's South African Tour last month. Of course, she brought back a few beautiful hand stitched pieces to show us.

Valerie is also the owner of African Threads. Please check them out.
Enjoy!

Stone Henge

My friend and I took a day tour while visiting England. We went to Stone Henge, Salisbury (to see the cathedral) and Bath. It was a very memorable trip. Our guild, Michael, was priceless!

During the summer months, it's possible to get private tours of Stone Henge where you get to see the stones up close. These tours occur at sunrise and sunset. In any case, you get an audio tour which works very well. It was an interesting morning and I'm glad I experienced it.
