Before we moved a couple of years ago, my drive to work each morning was half an hour to 40 minutes and then back again at the end of the day, distances in Canada are just different I think.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285223648285145607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-74687366395197568892011-06-29T10:50:52.814+01:002011-06-29T10:50:52.814+01:00One of my favorite quilt shops, about an hour from...One of my favorite quilt shops, about an hour from my home (so I don't get there all that much) is also sadly going out of business. There are about 3 remaining small shops within 30 minutes of my house and I do try to support them, but I do also purchase fabric on-line. (In fact I am eagerly awaiting an order of Asian fabrics in the mail). You found some lovely fabrics and I look forward to seeing what you create with them!Elisa Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320037827105511594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-37534045155087664052011-06-29T07:32:33.652+01:002011-06-29T07:32:33.652+01:00What a pain!
