At the cost of mags these days I think a trade off would be great! :D I know what you mean about hauling water. Our water system is 750 foot of garden hose from the house to the barn! LOL Fortunately this year has been wonderful for us two seniors. We have 7 bathtubs for water for our animals so when the freeze comes we just break ice and move horses from yard to yard. Needless to say we fill them all to the brink when the water will flow. So far I've only had to carry one cantainer down for my pigeons in the hay room. PHEW! Thank goodness for "global warming". :P We have had years we had to fill buckets in the house and carry them in the truck to fill the tubs. Biggest problem with that is you only have half buckets when you get there. Hope your quilt makes the mags. It's just too fabulous for words.
