I was way too tired to respond last night and we only went to four shops.
Ann Wheeler has a long arm business and :er husband ran the shop while she graciously drove Susan and I yesterday around in my car Lucas where we got our passports and Iowa fabric. then on to Chariton and the Sampler there and choose fabric from her 'sale room' before going on to Pella for lunch and more shopping. Beauriful wall hanging there, like stepping into a picture of a large flower garden , with the tulips first in the picture. one kit had to follow me home. B&B Creations at Tracy Iqwa was being operated by the surviving widower and his daughter and then home again. Yes, I found more 1930s fabric for the next project.
I will email later.
