No, unfortunately I can't go. Too busy getting ready for our Hawaii trip....and frantically trying to get all my Christmas sewing done before we go. But have a great time.

baubo1234 Have you discovered any quilting shops in Yuma. We will be in Yuma around Christmas and I could always use a fabric fix.

We are in Bonita Mesa r.v. resort on N . Frontage Rd. We have a quilting group here, but I haven't gone yet. They meet on Tuesday afternoons.
Where are you? Are you here for the winter? We will be here until mid April.

HI BAUBO1234,
We are here on a private lot off Foothills Blvd. We will be here till April. Does your RV Park allow non members (me) to join their quilting group.Which Walmart has fabric, I have been to the one on Pacfic. I know of 3 Walmarts, someone told me there are 4.Did you see the fabric store in by where The Brown Burger used to be.

We are former snowbirds & spent quite a few winters in Az,Ca,Nv,Tx & Fl.Enjoyed most places,but also saw some bad....cold...weather.

When we both needed dental/med work, I said I'd seen all the strange Drs/dentists I ever planned to see :-).Has worked out fine.I love winter days when the fire is going & I can sew to hearts content.I have my sewing room & DH has his shop.Maybe it's just old age talking :-)

There is one on Main st. but I haven't been to that one yet. and there is the one on 32nd st. just off 8E ave. in this end of town. I don't know which one was where the brown burger used to be. this is our first year down here.
