My little friend went home and made this big bag....Samoans love big....they told me so...they say Samoans love big, Polagi's love small bags. Just like they like big flowers in their hair....I am just saying what they tell me...
Wasn't she a productive one????
Great class, great friends.....
OH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>....if you are not on facebook, we just found out that we do not get to go to Huston....we are really bummed. So...we can wait it out here or chose another place?? They said a spot may come open in October but that means we have to leave later. We were told we would get what we wanted, but it looks like not. So.....stay tunned for more of the saga of Where Vance and Barb are going to go???
Barb, these gals are really crankin' out the projects, aren't they.
ReplyDeleteTell your gals that I for one am impressed with their bags, etc.
Love the bright colors ! ! !
Hey, what a bummer re: Houston
I suppose we could temporize this new by say something is better around the corner.
Hey, what would it hurt for us to think this ! ! !
Love to be POSITIVE.
Hey, tomorrow is Friday and AccuQuilt is having their GO! giveaway. I'm in there trying.

It's not just Samoans....Polynesians in general love big! It's us silly palangi's that make things difficult by going small :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what they make in your class...how fun :)
Sew, you dont' get to GO! at least you have Fabric and a GO! and Mr Pfaff to keep you company. I hope something changes and you get what your heart desires.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you are not heading to Houston. It will be interesting to hear where you end up.
Sorry to hear about Huston. Maybe things will change.

ReplyDeleteBarb, I am so sorry that you do not get to go to Houston. It may be some kind of omen that you are still needed there. The ladies are learning so much. You will have to replenish that stash soon!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're not getting your choice of destination right away - hopefully that's cos there's something betterr round the corner.
ReplyDeleteWhat great gals to sew with! Very productive - just like you!
ReplyDeleteWould staying on in Samoa be too hard? Can't imagine how hard it is for you to be up in the air with something like this - will be thinking of you and praying for the best outcome!
WOW your students are really getting good AND productive LOL.

You have work yet to do there, and, if I'm really lucky, maybe they will send you to Utah and we can hang out.
ReplyDeleteWhere did they want you to go? Could you still get Houston in Oct? Bummer. The bags are great, love your turtles.
ReplyDeleteBarb, it looks like you gave them the sewing bug. How fun to share the love of sewing, they look so excited. I'm so sorry after all your excitement that you're not able to go to Houston right away. Thinking good thoughts and will keep you in my prayers that you get there soon. Cyber Hugs,
ReplyDeleteLove the progress the gals are making, but they do have a wonderful teacher!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bags the girls made..very beautiful and useful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about Houston, though the weather is really miserable throughout Texas these days. Triple digits in Fort Worth. blech. Why exactly are you moving around? I guess I've never figured out why you're in Samoa in the first place. Sorry. 8(
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching,
Susan
I am sorry about you all not being sent to Houston. Maybe things will change in a while if not I hope your new place is more to your liking(va is a good place).

Too bad about Houston Barb. Bummer. But I bet your Somoan friends would be happy if you stayed! Guess we just have to stay tuned for the next episode to see what adventure you choose!
