First of all, let me thank you all for the dozens and dozens (hundreds and hundreds?) of helpful tips you've given me the past two years since I got bitten by the Quilting Bug!
It's amazing to me just how quickly I went from, "Gee, I'd really like to try that some day..." to total and complete obsession -- I love it too :-) I know you don't "see" me, but I'm here every day, and there's not a day goes by that I don't learn something from the group.
I'm hoping someone out there will have a suggestion or two for me. I'm looking for fabrics with a South American flavor. Not food-related, but with a definite Brazilian "bent" by virtue of color or style. A good friend of mine is from Brazil and her mother is in the final stages of a very long illness. I want to make a quilt for my friend that will not only warm her but make her think of "home."
I thought I was pretty good at finding just about any kind of fabric on the 'net, but hours of searching have turned up nothing of use. Any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you again for everything, Billi (in chilly Portland, Oregon)
