I live within an hour's drive of Mary Jo's. One day My husband came into my sewing room and commented, "I didn't know that Mary Jo's had moved here."

So; I rest my case. One of my greatest pleasures (and weaknesses) is fabric and notions. We moved to a retirement home 2 years ago and I refused to go if I couldn't take my cloth. We were lucky to find a cottage there with 2 bedrooms, one of which is a wonderful sewing room. However, my husband had smoked cigars for years, so I washed, ironed, and folded all my precious cloth, adding soda to the water to remove all cigar odor.

There was almost an "oops" as we, with the help of our children and sons-in-law, were packing up to move. One day I noticed several black garbage bags out by the garbage can. At first I just shrugged my shoulders, but something told me to investigate the contents of he bags. Thank goodness I did---they contained my sewing notions, interfacing, etc.!
