Oh the mention of Montana brings up the memories - I learned to drive in snow when I lived in Butte- I did a lot of skiing there too, before kids, in the wonderful powder of the west! I also remade my grandmother's quilt when I lived in Butte -it was falling apart around my ears and this was my first foray into the world of quilting. This was many years ago, though, and I have no fabric shops to mention to you - Sorry!
