Whew! It's been a whirlwind of activity over here... Since my last post, we took the Shinkansen to Nagoya where we met Anjali and Molly for a fantastic dinner, and then we all went out to Harb's for cake and tea/coffee. We spent the next day in Nagoya doing loads of superbuzzy business (more on all that when we get back!), and then took the Shinkansen back to Tokyo late that evening.
Yesterday was spent exploring and spending lots of money at Nippori Textile Town. We were incredibly lucky to be joined by Stefana, who is just as sweet and wonderful as you might imagine. She patiently guided us as we purchased bolt after bolt of fabric! Stefana has graciously agreed to join us again today as we head to our first day at Yokohama Quilt Week. We're not sure what to expect, but we're very excited to see what it's like. We've been snapping loads of photos, but haven't yet found a way to upload them for blogging - so we may have to wait until we get back to share all the goodness!
The US election results are exciting, and we're following the news as best we can from here. It will probably be another long day and late night tonight, but I'll try to get in another post when I can!
Waiting to hear your reaction to the Yokohama Quilt Festival! Happy to hear you're *still standing* after all the travel and excitement.
