Good for you! I so love the way we can be connected to someone thousands of miles away through this board!

gramacheri 01-28-2012 02:03 PM

Congrats DottyD! Sometimes we are just in the right place at the right time! Now since you saved so much on your groceries, you should go spend just a bit on some nice new fabric!

patski 01-28-2012 02:09 PM

Thank you everyone for your kind replies. Three friends and I have just booked a hotel to go up to Birmingham for the Festival of Quilts in August. This is one of the largest exhibitions in the UK, and it will nearly pay for the hotel !!! SO MORE MONEY to spend in the show. !!!!

Thanks Ilma, we visited Austin 3 years ago ( and watched the bats from a bridge - can't remember the name of the bridge.) We were staying with some friends in Keller TX and drove down to San Antonio - staying in Austin on the way. We also visited an Amish community on the way - oh my, the quilting was awesome. Had a great holiday - or vacation as you say !!
