Red, you would love it here in the winter! Summer, not so much...maybe I'll come visit you when it hits 120! I am a die hard bargain shopper, so I love SAS fabrics in Tempe. Designer quilt cottons for $4/yard, can't beat that! A few of us AZ gals are going to meet and hit the big SAS in Phoenix tomorrow, then lunch. Wish all y'all could join us!
Keep on with the hat method, it's fair and neutral and nobody gets their feelings hurt! I will be cutting mine today, even though there are still some boxes and organizing that needs to be done...
