The sidewalks here are cobblestones, and many of the businesses have a design worked in pebbles denoting their trade. Gee, wonder what they do here?

Just the first of many pictures uploaded today, thefirstday of thequiltshow--excuse me, Carrefour du Patchwork Europeen--in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, inAlsace. What an amazing event! It's spread over 4 villages, over 20 venues, some of which have several different exhibits.
We went to one that featured work by aSwiss artist, Australian designers, Libby Lehman, and several others. I took lots of pictures to help me remember. Another,featuring Canadian quilts, was hung in a beautiful church.
We go back tomorrow. I just hope my body will hold up so I can enjoy more of it! I figure I'll forget the aches,pains, and hurts, but I'll remember this experience!
PS, so far I haven't bought anything. Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

This stained glass piece is in the bar area ofourhotel. Twelve stars for the 12 countries in the EU, a rendition of Strasbourg Cathedral, and the shield is the coat of arms of the city.
Europa
Our hotel in Strasbourg is the Hotel de l'Europe, and while we were gathering to walk to dinner I happened to look up...and there was Europa, holding the globe with the 12 stars of the European Union!
