Welcome from South Louisiana. I need an avatar, too, but being the computer dummie that I am, it will take a while.

Welcome from Ohio.....:-)

Welcome from Roscoe Illinois.

Well, it seems that I succeeded. Didn't know that the avatar was retroactive. Thought it would have begun with where I inserted it. I have so much to learn about this world of technology. Thanks all for your help. That cutie is our great granddaughter. This was Christmas Eve two years ago and she was opening one of her packages.

So where is this quilt shop you're talking about Judith? I didn't know there was a big quilt shop in McMinnville. Let me know what the name of the shop is & where exactly & I'll have to go check it out. :D

Hello and welcome from Adelaide, South Australia.

Sorry to take so long to answer this. the Quilters Travel companion book was buried in my overflowing quilting/computer room. The great shop in McMinnville OR is Boersma's, 203 E. 3rd., zip 97128. We also visited Sharon's Atic in Hillsboro. Very nice people there too. I found the hard way to call first. I have been in 3 shops in Harlingen, TX and when I went a couple years later 2 had closed.
