I don't know about the move but I hope you brought a bit of ALL those fabrics home with you! I love them!!!

I didn't thing you were serious, but it does bear thinking about, doesn't it? As it is, you can just make sure you take an extra empty suitcase the next time you are in San Diego... And, you know, actually I wouldn't want to live too close to a great quilt shop. I'd be broke in no time, and my stash would be bigger than it already is!!

Dina,
I ship fabric home via USPS when traveling. It's cheaper than paying for a checked suitcase, and since I only take carry-on luggage, it would mean waiting for luggage at the other end. I love that the PO brings it to me, and it's like a surprise all over again when I open and go through my new fabric! :)

Makes sense to me but DH might not see it that way. The second picture is me trying to decide which batiks had to come home with me - the most delicious decision on Earth!

I'll try to post a picture of my spoils but probably not until get home.

Looks like a really good reason to burn the credit cards!

Well that and their weather would be good reason to move.

I have a friend that moved from central New York state to TN so he could pursue his interests of fly fishing and bluegrass music.................good thing his wife was in agreement.
