Dear Alice,
A little more history.... This is where the postcard idea started. In 1987 the first letters started cruising across the Atlantic between two women with young children who were interested in quilting . Mari-Ann had placed an ad in Quilting Newsletter Magazine requesting a "pin pal". "How cool, I thought! Someone from Sweden. I shall give this a try!" Two women with young children, careers, homes, and hobbies wont for more time, always. I think it was when Scott and I visited Mari-Ann and Janne on our very first trip to Sweden that we agreed to send each other post cards if we traveled more than 6 Swedish miles from home. A quick way to keep in touch, beautiful photos, and we could manage that! Over twenty years and many, many postcards, we have become the best of friends.
So today is dedicated to min bäst vän, Mari-Ann, who is only 29 today!!!
Happy Födelsedag, min vän!
Nancy
