When in Spain . . . to quilt or to cook?

I have a home in Spain from which immense inspiration can be gleaned and I go there whenever time and finances (!) permit.

Hopefully they will change from time to time. If not, check “Bobbi’s Blog” ……there’s often something new there!

Of course, I would love to hear from you.
