Thanks again everyone. I honestly thought most of you would take one look at that huge post and say "Oops! No time for that!" and click back as fast as you could. I thought maybe a few would read it all because they have their own memories. I'm glad to know someone appreciated my thoughts.
I didn't press anything tonight. It will probably be the weekend before I get back in the sewing room, but I'll start by posting pics of some of the fabrics.
