it would be good if i had a back up plan to spending time with her... i usually have bitten my tongue so hard its blistered when we leave![/quote]
Ooohhhh, tons in that area. Be sure to go to Quilted Straight in Port Gamle and to the Kingston Quilt Shop in Kingston. You could easily make a very nice day trip visiting those two and their surroundings. Also, a day in Poulsbo would be a treat. And it's only about a 45 minute drive from Bremerton to Tacoma where there are 7 or 8 quilt shops.
If you like classes, you might go online and check for some at the nearby shops on the dates you will be here.
And PM me if you want, we could meet up. Lots of others from the Bremerton area on this list, too.
