Seattle Day 4, Burlington, La Conner, Salmon House

I'm having a really wonderful time here in the USA. All the "old" and "new" people I meet here is so wonderful. Well today we (Marne, Marne's friend Alyane, she's a professional quilter and I) went to the Outletfabric in Burlington and the Quiltmuseum in La Conner (see pictures and post down below). We had a lot of fun/laughs during our trip today. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed everything!!!!

And oh dutch girls, this is to make you jealous, sorry. In the outletfabric they had this time a special offer, you could buy double-width fabric in pounds. You pay 4 dollar for a pound. So I bought 1,5 kg (about 3.1 pounds) for the back of my rose-quilt, that's about 3 yards (3 metres), can you believe it. PHOTOS SEATTLE DAY 4

Well you know how exhausting quiltshopping is. Doesn't that sound decadent. So in the evening I invited Marne and Elaine for dinner at the Ivar's Salmon house. I was there as well in september last year and it's a very nice place to be. http://ivars.net/index.php?page=locations_salmonhouse We had to wait half an hour before we had a place, but then we got a beautiful windowseat. In the USA you can't make reservations at a restaurant. You just go and see if there is some empty space, and if not you wait. Well we amused ourself with a sample of wine (Californian and Riesling) and with the cook!!! Isn't the style of this restaurant wonderful, it's typical NorthWestPacific Indian.
