The Quilt That Arrived on the Other Side of the World
La Poste came through after all. The quilt I made has officially arrived in Hong Kong. I have realized I didn’t post a few of the pictures I took of the whole finished product, so here are a few:
What a crazy pattern this was, but so much fun!
I’m proud of two things in this photo: the other is the geranium plant in our window box that I revived. It’s still in full bloom!
This is what the quilt looks like on our bedroom chair. Those geraniums were a little late to catch up.
We went to Hong Kong in August (the hottest month) 2003. It was our first stop on a trans-mongolian rail (and plane) trip. The whole itinerary was New York - Los Angeles - Hong Kong - Beijing - Ulan Baatar (Mongolia) - Irkutsk (Russia) - Moscow - St. Petersburg - Paris - New York. Whew! I’ll have to write more about that later. In the mean time, here are some photos of the magical place to which the psychedelic quilt has just arrived.
The top of Victoria Peak. Who knew there was so much nature just minutes from the city center?
A Buddhist Spot on Victoria Peak
The long series of outdoor escalators we very much appreciated in the heat.

Riding a Junk Boat on the South China Sea
We anchored and swam to this beach. Paradise.
Sunset on the South China Sea. Sweet dreams!
