Too bad I didn't realize that you were so close to CW! DH and I spent 3
days there on our return from Florida in April. We had great weather, and
our pass included just about everything. We spent a whole morning in the
DeWitt. The quilts were amazing, and I loved seeing all the samplers as
well.
I'll have to let you know the next time we are passing through your way.....
