Spouse meeting and quilting session
The Taiwanese woman we met at the International Cafe invited me to join the quilting class on Friday. It’s a outreach ministry of Network of Nations, a Christian group. The ladies are mostly the spouses of International students. They accompany their spouses who study Masters or PhD at the University here. As they cannot work and have their mornings free, some of them go for English classes and they meet regularly at a house near the university for craft/sewing/cooking sessions.
Since the meeting place is not within walking distance, I planned to take a commuter bus to go there. However, T found out his father would be running errands in the morning and could give me a lift, so I didn’t get a chance to take the bus yet.
There were about eight of us were there, three other Asian women are from Taiwan, China and Indonesia. The Indonesian woman was very happy to learn that an American woman and I can speak Indonesian/Malay. She wanted to teach us cooking some Indonesian dishes! We spent time chatting and getting to know each other while our hands were busy with the quilting. Actually, we were doing the cheater quilt. We sew on the pre printed quilt instead of starting from fabric pieces.
