Lynette recently flew to Zurich and then traveled to France and some other places. She was kind enough to take two quilts with her for the children of friends.<\/p>\n

You might remember the BAMQG Color Round Robin<\/a>? i started the piece in May of 2013.Kathleen and Rhonda both worked on, but I don’t know if anyone else worked on it.<\/p>\n

This was one of the quilts I sent off to Austria. Anja is now the proud owner of this small piece. She is about 3.<\/p>\n

Her brother, Lukas, received the Sealife quilt. I worked a lot on this one at the 2018 BAM Retreat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It took awhile for me to get these quilts to Europe and it turned out to be the perfect time. Lukas and Anja also got a new baby sister a few weeks before, so these quilts ended up being their Baby Gifts.<\/p>\n

Their new sister is called Laura (pronounced LOW -rah -with the OW being pronounced like an owie not like oh). Lukas is now outnumbered.<\/p>\n

The way I send quilts to friends in Europe is I beg a traveling friend to stick a quilt (or 2) in their luggage and then visit a post office once they get to the EU. I put the quilts in one of those vacuum seal bags and suck as much air out of the bag as humanly possible. By doing this, I can usually save $70 on postage. I am pretty sure the post office wouldn’t like this if they knew, but I am not telling. \ud83d\ude09 I have another large quilt to send and I don’t know yet who will be the lucky courier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
