Isn't this board just the greatest?! Here we are at least 1500 miles apart and yet just so close because of this wonderful hobby of quilting and the internet!! Technology is wonderful (esp. when it works!) Yes, often we hear "Minnesnowta" but it certainly isn't because of the last few years. We have had very little snow and right now we are sooooooo dry that I think we would even take snow in October just to get some moisture! Fires are a real threat is anything gets started so we are all hoping and praying for rain. Thanks for helping me/us out. You are the best-KUDOS! df
