Here is my Irish Friend Olivia

After visiting Olivia in Ireland in June she came to Wisconsin to visit me for 2 weeks and while she was here we went to a quilt convention, many quilt shops, a quilt show, garage sales and thrift shops all adventures.  What a great friend. She made this vest--her first vest ever it was perfect--cute! She went home with two suitcases full of fabric, one case weighed 48 lbs and the other 23lbs---almost all fabric--what a quilter.  pb
