Beaver Island Quilt Retreat (3)

When I was on Beaver Island in Gwen Marston's house,
there are Quilts, Quilts and more Quilts.
They are even under the bed.

You see Gwen looking for more quilts.

It's a small world

When I was in Michigan we visited a lot of Quiltshops (9)
Our favourite was Delphine's quiltshop,
Downtown Gaylord.
By entering the shop the lady in charge said to me :" I Know You".
She is a follower of my blog.

Yes the world is small.
