Georgetown Penang almost pandemic

We spent the first half of our time in Georgetown staying at Coffee Atelier.  It was excellent.  We spent the second half of our time in Georgetown at the Hotel Penaga. We enjoyed both places very much. The Panaga had a swimming pool. Also, it was located in a different neighbourhood, this allowed us to walk to different places and explore.  Linda purchased some Batik material from a vendor in the Komtar  building. The stores name was Sri Batik Sri Batik click here We sent it home by Malaysian Post to use in Linda’s quilting projects.  

Update one year later now Feb 2020. The Malaysian Batik quilt now finished. The blue and tan material were sourced locally in Saskatoon, Canada. This quilt is King size extra large which makes it difficult to get in one frame.
