Hi Nantucket Sue:
When I first saw your Intro I thought you were from NEW England...not England. I spent a couple years in NEW ENGLAND and loved it. I have not travelled abroad but I've been told that there aren't many fabric stores in some of the countries. Do you have trouble finding fabric or do you have to order all of it from somewhere else? I have the same addiction as everyone else on this site so I always wonder and worry what I'd do if fabric stores became a thing of the past. I'd go through withdrawal and curl up and die, I'm sure.
Welcome. Glad to have you join us.
