I had to do a double take. I thought you both got "idiot" pins! I'll have to quit skimming messages!

Thanks, Bea - this article was a crack-up to read! I grew up in Orange County - used to ride our bikes over to watch when they were building Disneyland. I'd go on that run, but now live in Sweden - where fabric costs a fortune and there isn't that much of a selection. Which is why I lug suitcases full of fabric home from the U.S. when I go to visit my kids and grandkids in Oregon - and from Tanzania, where I can buy fabric made in India (not so far away) and batiks made by the grandmas in our GRANDMA-2-GRANDMA project. Anyway, thanks for the link to the funny article! Bibi Jann PS If any one has Swedish links and would like to read humor pieces I write poking gentle fun at Swedish life, let me know and I'll forward some to you. Or if you want to buy batiks...or make a quilt for an Tanzanian AIDS orphan.
