It would be great if they had a separate quilt show. It might bring more of
us quilters to visit the fair.
Give your hubbie a hug for all us on the east side of the state. I support
our soldiers regardless of their job, It is a tough one. Regardless of one's
feelings about the war, I believe that our boys (men) do their best.
Best wishes and good luck to ya.
