Curtains

Before leaving for South Africa and as we were preparing to go, one of our team googled quilters in Joburg.  She then was given the e-mail address of a quilters group near Joburg so she sent an e-mail.  Incredibly (or it was a God thing) the lady e-mailed right back and was very excited about our project and wanted to provide help for sewing the curtains for the staff room, kitchen, and two classrooms at Durbam Deep.  So plans were made for the quilt lady (Shelley) to come pick up the curtain material on Friday.  She then took it back to her quilting ladies,  they sewed the curtains for us, and brought the completed curtains back to us on Sunday.  This morning we are going to hang some of the curtains so that the rooms will be completed.  We have so enjoyed the involvement of the local people who have worked with us.
