Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

Quilted Bag

This is our neighbor Isabelle who is an avid quilter. When I travel to the US, I usually bring back fabrics for her as the selection of quilt fabrics in France is relatively small. Here she is displaying a tote bag she made with the last lot of fabrics purchased at the Olde Green Cupboard in Jacksonville, FL. I gave her the fabrics on Sunday and the bag was designed and made by Thursday. Normally she does all of her work by hand but the bag she sewed by machine.
