I would never have called you a harvester! Never! I'm too nice for that!

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry,
Hanging my head in shame...

I should have delurked first! I do apologize.

Well, to introduce myself, you taught me all I know about quilting
starting in 1999, when I was still a Math student in Osnabrück,
Germany. I have since moved to Switzerland, married, and been too busy
to surf much. And I am a bit rusty and hence forgot my manners, and
also all the necessary settings, so I have appeared under several
names during this day. I apologize again for the inconvenience and
Thank you to all those who did reply.

I have just redone my web page - where the said trick works, by the
way (look at the souce code and you'll find the gobbledegook). Well,
there you will find out that I really do exist and maybe remember -
btw, hello to Vivien in NZL, we do fondly remember the time with you,
you were wonderful! The pig lives in the kitchen!

Well lookee here - its Susan Kremer - sneakily hiding behind a new
name!

Don't think we don't have ways of finding you out m'dear!

But - welcome back to RCTQ - glad you found us again - how is
Switzerland after Germany? More snow? or less snow?!

Hugs,
Suzie B

Kia Ora,

Well hello, Susan (and hugs to Martyn too).

Were thinking of you just the other day and wondering how you are.

Now that "Return of the King" is out there, it'll be easier to explain "I
climbed Mt Doom" to sceptics.

Your quilts are great - I can see you've been busy.

Great website, excellent work! But I missed the pig. Potbellied, I assume?
I used to work for a PBP breeder / rescuer. They are very interesting &
intelligent.

The pig was Vivien and Tony's wedding present: a cutting board like
they got years ago, made from Newsealand Rimu! Thanks again Vivien!

Kia Ora,

But, actually, there is a story about the Pig.

When DH and I married many moons ago my FIL gave us, as a gift, a chopping
board in the shape of a pig that he had made. He and my MIL had been to
Europe previously sometime (not sure when), and he had seen it somewhere in
Switzerland, had taken a paper pattern, and when he returned to NZ had made
one each as gifts for his children when they married.

Our Pig chopping board is used every day.

When Susan and Martyn were here in NZ they returned after their touring for
a last night in Auckland, and mentioned that they wished they'd bought the
chopping board when they saw it. We went to a few shops that might have had
what they were looking for, but had no luck. I don't know what they were
looking for, but they couldn't find it here in Auckland. But we'd told a
good friend of ours the Pig story, and he'd already made for us 3 more
chopping boards - one for each of our two daughters, for the appropriate
moments, and an extra, just in case.

Well, when Susan and Martyn were here, the "just-in-case" moment arrived,
and it's really great that a Pig chopping board has gone as a wedding
present back to Switzerland, in a sense bringing the story full circle.

wish Susan and Martyn many happy years using that chopping board.
