Yesterday I received this beautifully embroidered siggy from Ghislaine Veit who is from Saint Cyr sur Mer, France :) I also received a short letter from her, which is written in French! Well it has been around 40 years since I took French in high school, but I gave translating it a try....I think I got most of it, not quite all of it. So here goes: She thanked me for the siggy. It seems she has 2 daughters and 5 small children (grandchildren, I think). And has been quilting since her retirement 5 years past. She hopes that I accept her siggy with pleasure. (I do accept her siggy with much pleasure) There are a couple other sentences that I just could not figure out :( And to think that I thought I would never use those French classes...who would have thought that they would come in handy... in quilting of all places :)I looked up where she lives and found that it is located on the southeastern coastal region of France. It is a community based on agriculture and tourism. In their town square is a replica of the Statue of Liberty!
