    Since it is used for summer wt. linens, I'm thinking seersucker. Chenille would be very warm!
    No offense Stewy.

    Oh my how interesting this thread is! You are so right, our stashes are more than your "shop" has.
    I am thinking that you should head up a quilting class for the region. Then the ladies would understand your love for quilting. And... perhaps request more quilting fabrics in the store.

    a bit off topic but i was wondering what kind of technology they have there? Is it "dial up internet" or do they have DSL? Its quite interesting to hear about another culture, i love some of the technology we have today but at the same time, it can be a source of great stress.

    Thanks for the very interesting explanation of just how you landed in Poland. The former Soviet block countries were so closed off for so long it will take a very long time for them to recover. In some regards they may never. It's people like you and your DH who will help them grow and prosper, though, so keep up the good work. As for choices, some times I wish there weren't so many for us, too. But I do love looking at the beautiful fabrics available on line. Thanks again.

    This is without doubt, the most interesting thread I have read. I look forward to any of your posts. Just wish there was someway to help. Are you teaching any of the ladies to quilt or sew or any other craft?

    I married a Polish boy but I think I'm happy to live where my
    favorite LQS carries 6000 bolts. Or should I say spoiled. Thanks for sharing with us.
