Don't have the nerve to pack my rulers, cutters and cutting board yet. That would finalize everything. I can't let that happen right now. Too emotional. I compromised and sent the starch, batting and supertote home. Swore off buying fabric and notions online until I got home. I had a pity party then broke down and sent myself some fatquarters from fabric.com this morning. (Yay me!) I have some scraps (very small amount) I keep on the edge of my desk to pet and dream about...waiting to go home.
    Sienna's GIGI....thank you so much for all you have done and given for all of us. Welcome home........

    Please PM me a mailing address where I might send a FQ or two to help re-establish your stash here in the States. It would be my distinct privilege if you would allow me to do this as a really small token of my thankfulness for people like you.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
