Knitette, I just thought of something.. why not call some of the local quilt shops that the ladies have mention here and give them a list of things you need with your credit card number etc... and have your husband go by and pick up the package... they would love to "shop" for you!! LOL!! Don't forget quilting supplies.. or books..
Wish you could come visit our country with your hubby..
big hugs
