Pat and David Hallam called in at the Library yesterday, en route to Franz Josef Glacier. They arrived just after a very heavy rainstorm, and 'bedraggled' was a good description (Pat told me she had had her hair washed three times yesterday, and only one was intended!)... She was wearing a wonderful sweatshirt, with a printed lace bobbin design, so I recognised her immediately.
It was really exciting when Pat produced an enormous number of bobbins! I have never seen so many beautiful painted and figured bobbins before, and choosing some to buy was very difficult. <gg> Pat took a photo of me, and my assistant (Jan Blanchet, whose name any quilters among you might recognise), examining all the bobbins on the Library circulation desk, and David took one of us all. I was sorry that they weren't able to stay in town a little longer - perhaps next time? - but Pat is taking back some little souvenirs of Westland... and there is 'a little something' for Bethany to look forward to, as well!
