    I like that one too. But, I liked having the ben's next to hancocks. I am sad to see it go. It has been there many many years.

    I will run over and sign you up for your 2 sets. If you decide on more just let me know, ok? Are you going to the quilt show? I know you have an entry. I would like to meet up for a while to chat you up. LOL!

    The Ben Franklins in Shoppers Square is in the mall. You have to go inside where Sheplers is and it is towards the back is is not in the outside area where the stores are.

    Yes I am working the quilt show 9-11 Friday in the country store and Bruce is working registration and after that we are free. If you cant come Fri then we will meet you Sat as know they are looking for more volunteers but havent signed up for more hours yet.

    THanks for signing me up. Going tommorow to a quilters house to get some lessons as want to learn some new techniques and maybe do something different for the swap for some of the other blocks so can do six sets maybe but will need to talk to you. As love what you have created so far and bouht some snowman fabric this morning that maybe I will piece around the edges of the block but neeed to figure out what to do with the other fabric I bought.

    LOL I used to go to the other store lots. Now if I want anything from ben's I have to go to that store. I am so happy they aren't closing it too.

    I love the quilter's country store. There are some great bargains in there! I will be there on friday. I don't buy or sell on saturday, do that is my only day to go. They used to have it on sunday too. I wish they would. I love being there for the drawings for the ticket tables. It is so fun!

    No matter if we can't get together that day. I will stop in and give you my cell number. Maybe we can do lunch?? We will talk.

    I've got two sets made so far. Will try to do four. I'll send a PM when they're done. :)

    My husband might want to join too. I'll ask him when he gets home from work later. He likes playing with the embroidery machine. :mrgreen: (He's a forum member under the ID of "robert". I think he reads more than he posts, but he's been in at least one other swap so far. :) )

    Yes to all your questions! LOL! Please make mailing arrangements with me. The blocks need to be able to get here on time and return postage will have to be worked out. OK?

    I would love to go, but I did not realize that Reno is 13hours from home. More drive than I can handle unfortunately. I make it a couple hours and then back starts to act up. I am sure you will enjoy the show and maybe when life gets easier to travel, I will do the trip. Maybe ask my boss to fly me down in his airplane. There is an idea.
