The seminar in Jena was wonderful, and before it even started, Guinevere and I met while crossing the street! (A similar incident occurred at our last meeting in London - we met a couple of blocks away from our designated meeting place, on the street while walking there.) It was a pleasure to see her again and to meet a member of her family who was with her. What's more, she brought me some lovely fabrics, antique laces and embroideries for my patchwork collection - a special treat! We had lunch together before the event began, which was a good thing; after that, the program and lots of nice people there kept us very busy.
