I used to live in England, in Witney, Banbury, Bicester and Greenham Common! They were all for the American-leased bases there and over two different time periods. I was not into quilting when we lived there, but did sewing and I never could afford the fabric off base. I was making the clothes to make it cheaper than buying them, buting the fabric off base would have defeated the purpose.
Too all of you in England-I truly miss your country and would love to go back for a visit of about a year or so!!!
I also am willing to swap fabrics from here for crisps, chocolates and all sorts of neat things that I miss! I used to have a cross-stitch buddy that would swap me XXX mints, candies and crisps for fabrics and threads!!! My kids always had a shopping list of their favorites! Please let me know if I can be of any help.
I used to live not too far from Mildenhall and Lakenheath in Suffolk I was over the border in Norfolk, and used to go to the air shows there. Fabulous!! This would be an idea, I have major health problems just now for myself and my eldest daughter, but when the are less troublesome will pm you to see if we could organise this. in the meantime I expect others may take you up on this.Thank you for your kindness.
