Gramakitten, I've wanted to add to my stash of batiks for your center, & had a trip to my LQS (40 mi away, but still local:) planned TWICE - only to have plans changed by illness. :-( Once mine, & now small children. It's only Oct 1 & I'm already beginning to sense a loooooooooong winter!:( The worst part is, I can't get online, quilt, read or even clean the house when there are sick kiddos around. Seems they take up every minute. :( Hoping like crazy that I can have a very productive weekend. In between soccer games on Fri, Sat & Sun-- all out of town - of course! Going to a quilting retreat next weekend --- adults only & I can't wait!!!!
