LOL about the little strips. I actually bought a few of the Clover "make
bias tape" gadgets. I still haven't quite made up my mind about fumbling
with this. But, I did succcessfully use the one that lets ou add on the
iron-on baking at the same time. I got these when I was doing the art
germent sewing /designing class and made some custom skinny bindings.
Oh - on topic - the going out of business LNS may actually have some of
these charts (Cheryl, Nancy) - I can look when I'm in next time. She was
getting a lot of the art deco ones, not so much the architecture - but some.
I think Donna may have gotten the Pope-Leighey house chart at Woodlawn (that
FLW house is adjacent to the Woodlawn mansion, so the gift shop carries
some).
Just thinking - they're nice.

Ah, Donna has been writing about this on her blog, and I thought had said
something here. The shop I managed for a year - Scarlet Thread - is going
out. Last day June 20th - lots of folks shopping since she announced. Been
doing 25% off on everything, has painted canvases at 30% off, and some
charts at 40%. Anyhow - she still has plenty of stuff - really. The owner
is thinking about doing a web store - but I wouldn't hold my breath til that
happens - or she's going to sell on line, and have people come to her house
to see merchandise by appt. We'll see.
I'm having a fun time trying to get my Baroque gals to have their absolutely
final class - I can't get them in the same place on a weekend before the
shop closes - so may have to do a mid-week evening. And the long-term
Twister class - it's a nightmare - but I'm looking for a place to have them
meet regularly - I live further out so coming here isn't good - but I'm
working on it.
Another LNS - likely going to close for about a month or so while doing a
change of location thing, it's a bit complicated.
Of course, if you came here - we wouldn't let you find a big NOTHING!!!!

It's like losing a scissors: As soon as you buy a new one, you find
the old! Try starting a new one and I bet the pwd comes to you!
