This year, in June and July a friend from the West coast of the USA visited us. Mary is from Seattle, and she spent a month in Spain. apart from Madrid, she visited Barcelona, Valencia, San Sebastián, Toledo...
Y por supuesto fuimos de tiendas de telas en el centro de Madrid.
Of course, we went fabric shopping downtown Madrid.
Ahora me doy cuenta de que NO nos sacamos una foto juntas!! Now I realise we did NOT take aphoto together!! |
Estuvimos en la "zona caliente" (de compra de telas y demás...), y tomamos churros con chocolate y dimos una vuelta por la Plaza Mayor.
We were in the "hot zone" (for fabric shopping and related things...) and we also had some churros with hot chocolate, and we went around the Plaza Mayor.

We spent the whole morning shop hopping around the well-known fabric shops in downtown Madrid. I do not know if she liked it, but thhis is definitely different from what she is used to.
Compramos algunos retales, y hablamos de lo que hace cada una. Mary hace "modern quilting", tendencia que cada vez me gusta más...
We did buy some fabric, and we talked about the quilting each of us does. Mary does "modern quilting", which is something that I like more and more...

Me regaló una bolsita con telas de Freddy Moran, de la que es ferviente seguidora.
She gave me this beautiful fabric basket with Freddy Moran fabrics, as she is one of her enthusiastic followers.
Unos días antes de regresar, estuvo con su marido de barbacoa en casa, y por supuesto, hablamos más de telas, técnicas, ídolo(a)s de patchwork, y yo le mostré algunos de mis trabajos:
A few days before going back, she came home with her husband for barbecue, and again we talked about fabric, techniques, patchwork "idols", and I showed her some of my works:
El Arco Delicado
Supernova
La perfección de Angelita

What fun to see and hear about your visit with Mary! She told me about it with great joy and gratitude.
