Wow! Did you get lucky!!!!Very pretty and i know you'll enjoy them both!
And the best thing I've found for leg cramps is quinine sulfate...I've had to take it for years due to a back surgery gone wrong...if you can't get that, tonic water (with or without the gin!) also works, or so I've been told.

I am feeling better today, thanks. I don't know what I did to cause so much pain yesterday...it started in my foot, and ran right up my leg, which is weird, since I have hip and back problems. Maybe I stepped down wrong? I do know it is getting harder to drive lately...thank goodness for cruise control. I am under continued care of my neurologist, and on pain meds and meds for chronic pain control. Hey, you live with it...beats the alternative, right?
I spent the morning and afternoon going thru my newest finds, after the dh and I fixed the sewing machine cabinet so I could use it with my machine. I had a shelf from a bookcase that we cut down and put where the opening is, and since it is a finished shelf, there won't be any snagging of material on it. This is going to work out perfectly, and only cost me $5. for the cabinet.
I went thru my material, and not counting scraps and the screens that were in the bags, there is 30.5 yards of fabric from the woman who sold me the quilts. I also bought 17 yards of fabric from her neighbor, beautiful purple material, for $4.00. Just gorgeous stuff that I am going to use for fancy stockings, just for starters. And there was some nice tropical material that had been cut for what must have been for cushions that is perfect for making into a reusable shopping bag, just put it together, lol. I really made a haul...happy dance (a careful one, lol).
I figured out that I paid about .29 a yard for my fabric. What a deal!
