    On Sunday morning Dh and I are off to England and Europe for a month.We have never been there before, and I am s...o excited.I'm a bit worried about the long flight though.It is 10 hours to Seoul,Korea, where we have a stop-over for the night,then 12 hours to London.I'm looking forward to sussing out lots of quilt stores.

    You'll have a great time. We were there in the early 80s for 3 weeks and it wasn't nearly long enough. I wanted to stay and stay. I wasn't a quilter back then so I don't know how many quilt stores you'll find.
    I sure wish I could go with you!
    But I wouldn't enjoy your long flights. Wow...

    I am so envious. I can't wait to see what kind of fabric you find that is different. If you find time, post to the board of your adventure in the fabric stores. I'd love to see what they have to offer.

    We were in London for 3 years in the late 60's. I still didn't see all I wanted to see. Of course I had 3 rugrats and a Scottie! That clipped my wings a little. Enjoy!!

    Oh have a great time! We were in Europe and London earlier this year. I hope you have time to find those quilt fabric stores. I only saw one while I was there and didn't get to buy any fabric at all. Are you taking a tour or travelling by yourselves?
