Collect your gear, take the next plane to Germany - and here you are!
Visiting Rothenburg's medieval town, Kaethe Wohlfahrt's Christmas Village, the wood carver in Oberammergau, Neuschwanstein's and Heidelbergs castles, the Christmas Market at Nuremberg, ...anything else you want to see in the south of Germany???

I always like to look at quilts for the colors and patterns. I suspect people who do this find it very therapeutic; you can really see your progress and get a sense of accomplishment.

Oh my, this soooooo reminds me of my mom and her quilting club! Alas, it is a talent that totally skipped right over me. Thanks for sharing at Song-ography.
