What a beautiful road trip & garden tour. Thank you for the calmness & friendship of the LGC for all of us to become friends. I live in Northern CA, USA &so glad I found your channel. I am watching many of your “you tube shows” & enjoy my evenings with you as a new friend. I am 80 & all the world problems seem to go away at least for a few minutes or longer while I enjoy your channel. Thank you very much.❤😊

My birthday is the same month as yours and we were born in the same year. I truly feel like you are my sister from another mother. Take care of yourself so that I can keep visiting you. See you next week it sounds exciting!

Congratulations on the redo of your sun porch and five year anniversary. It’s wonderful to fix up a useless space into a place you want to be. I know when I do that I wonder why it took so long. I’ve been subscribed about five years. I wish I could claim to be so from the beginning, but no. I remember about 1,500 subs at the time. I know I started watching you because my mother had died in 2017 and left some unfinished quilts that I was researching on KZfaq how to finish and you popped up. So you were a great comfort to me. As for curtains, I made some pojagi curtains with 6” batik blocks that I learned from you. I love how they are finished on both sides. I’ll be there next week.
