I wish I had read this earlier.
I am just on my way back to Toronto, Canada from a quilting expedition in Lancaster County, Penn. I must have passed your front door. I cant begin to tell you how successful the trip was.
I would have dropped by and made you feel all my new fabrics, discuss my patterns and we would ooh and aah over my descriptions of the beautiful Amish quilts and the quilting museum. I'd come with chocolate.
I would have made you forget your quilting bee, just for a moment.
Hopefully you will find a replacement soon.
