This beautiful quilt, made by Hisako with silk fabrics,
took her two years to stitch. |
This is a friendship quilt created by Hisako and friends
and then hand quilted by Toshiko. It took them a year to
make. |

An
Evening with Friends
The
day before the Madison exhibit reception, several of us got
together at the Paesels' lakeside home. Fred Paesel provided
us with pontoon boat tours along the shore of Lake Monona
and the Yahara River.

It
was a bracing October afternoon and Hisako, Toshiko,
and I braved the trip with blankets and wine for warmth.
Here I am bundled up in my winter jacket.

Afterward
we walked over to the Continental Cafe for a delicious meal.
