This thread is the best! TonyC and the VELVET story is the winner - if we need a winner.
I came back last evening from a quilting retreat in Strasburg, PA. We (some of us) went in to the Bird-IN-Hand shop (in Bird-in-Hand) and the first thing I did when we got back to the B&B was "Here feel this fabric". There were five from NEW YORK and four from my guild. We had never met before and laughed the whole weekend thru. Of course we did sew. It was a UFO weekend. I didn't get my UFO completed but I am on a roll now.
