RJ: we in the US have read about your "beast from the east" and it looks brutal. The fact you went out to take care of quilting shopping shows your dedication and addiction to the hobby. We love people like you!
It never dawned on me that notions would mean something different in other areas. I'm glad you figured it out! Do you call them accessories, or is there another word to lump them all together?
I have friends in Manchester and Scheffield (not sure if that is spelled correctly), and we have often times had good laughs over English-to-English translations

I think we would call them accessories - certainly that's what shop signs etc say anyway. The english to English translations can be fun!

Wow you ladies are all on the ball. I'm still waiting for what I ordered to arrive.
BUT.....I like it, so I hope my pal does, too.
My secret for today: you make the types of quilts I have never made, but I did join a swap to start this type of quilt.

Verna was my SP! I got a lovely package for the month that included so many things. I got handmade soap from her daughter that smells wonderful! I got a special Quilting Diva pattern for hosting last month. I got some 30's reproduction yardage, rotary blades, a huge spool of thread, an address book, hand sanitizer, bobbin keepers, an adorable plastic snap container with some very strong and interesting clips. Verna also gave me a hand-crafted embroidered leathery mirror compact that she made herself.
Thanks you very much, Verna! You went above and beyond!
Only thing is.....where did you hear those facts about Garland, Texas? No encyclopedia and a fine for barefooting?? I work for the actual City itself and those facts are unknown to us. Where did you find that?
