I was across the river in Ohio when he quake struck, so perhaps I was too far away. It was minor here. Many of my family are in the Virginia area, though and they got a very good dose of it!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-51165540030327403672011-08-24T04:33:55.327-04:002011-08-24T04:33:55.327-04:00Loverly!

But, I probably won't need to buy any more quilts in my lifetime, as I got some really, really nice ones. And even though I spent more than you, I spent less than I thought I'd have to.Carolyn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179182853082650546noreply@blogger.com
