In about 2008 we befriended Hani and his wife Maggi, Egyptian newly weds. I think someone asked if I would help Maggi with her English but in the end, I probably learnt more Arabic than she learnt English - she just wasn't all that interested in it. After a while (maybe a year or so), they were having a baby, so I made their little bundle of joy, who they named Manuela a small quilt.
Eventually, we lost contact with one another as she was bound up with baby-things, naturally; and still wasn't interested in improving her English. And I had my own life which was becoming increasingly busier and busier.
Anyway, this is Manuela's quilt!
