With the Paris Olympics on, I think back to the time (2018) I invited my twin sister Prue Scott<\/a> who was living in Germany at the time, to visit l’Aiguille en F\u00eate in Paris with me. We met up with Anne Nicolas-Whitney of Et Brode le Papillon<\/a>. Prue and I also enjoyed other needleworky touristy things in Paris.<\/p>\n
