One of my quilts is going to China!
My brother has been working in China for many years, and married a lovely
Chinese woman. They have visited Canada 2 or 3 times each year for the past 3 years, and we have been able to spend a bit of time together. This visit, they drove the extra 5 hours to come for a visit to Kingston! We had a great visit, and I learned a lot about her life in China, and their life there together. She has a 13 yr old son, Steven, and they both speak, read and write English very well. She acts as interpreter for my brother, although he has learned a lot of the language over the years. I had given her a small wall hanging 2 years ago, but was always worried about too much luggage on the return trip. This time, I showed her all the quilts I had finished, and asked her to pick one she liked. She chose "Whirl of Scraps" (in my quilts 05 album on Webshots). She liked it because of all the bright colours. Their apartment in Guilin is very white! I was so happy that she liked such a colourful quilt. She has learned how to cross-stitch, and they have framed her work and it decorates her apartment. People don't have hobbys in China, like we do, so everyone thinks she is so smart, to learn to cross-stitch!. When my brother retires, they are planning to live in Canada, so we plan to spend more time together. She wants to learn how to quilt! -- Susan in Kingston ON sewing table complete, now back to quilting! http://community.webshots.com/user/sbtinkingston |

One of my quilts is going to China!
How exciting!
I have a DS and DDIL who are missionaries. They will be going back to Russia for a calling in Siberia next year. They were there for 2 years and have returned to get their Masters before going back. I made them a quilt for their wedding in January and will be taking it with them when they go. I love the thought of them laying under my quilt every night, enveloping their love with my love. -- Boca Jan Southern Florida - land of the hurricanes http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/poo_de_doo/my_photos "Susan Torrens" wrote in message ...

One of my quilts is going to China!
My brother went to China to manage a tire manufacturing plant - sent by the
Canadian company. Now he works as a consultant. He has less travel benefits, but more control over schedules. He married his lovely Chinese wife over 2 years ago, and I have never seen him so happy. They are making plans for returning to Canada sometime in the future. Her son from her first marriage is in grade 8, and they are not sure whether they want him to finish school in China, or go to high school in Canada. He had his first trip out of China last summer, and he greatly improved his English! I was checking my stash for basketball fabric, as that is his favourite sport! -- Susan in Kingston ON sewing table complete, now back to quilting! http://community.webshots.com/user/sbtinkingston "Boca Jan" poo_de_doo at removeyahoo.com wrote in message ...
