Hi and welcome to the Board Sharon. I'm a Snowbird, so maybe I'll see you next winter. A comple other Tucsonans that hang out here and I have already talked about getting together.
I had not read this whole thread before I posted, so I'm adding an edit.
There are EVEN more Tucsonans than I knew about! It will be fun to meet you all when I get back to the desert. One of the many things, besides the desert, that I love about Tucson, is having 4 places to buy fabric etc within 10 minutes of my house! In CT, there's a JoAnn's 10 minutes away, but the closest LQS is 30 minutes - and that's when the roads aren't torn up having potholes fixed!
