Re: OT - Cross your fingers - Never Mind

Hey Sharon, it's such a shame you can't make it to the states. It would have
been so much fun to meet up. As far as Joann stores in Memphis, I don't
think there are any. At least there weren't when we lived there but that's
been several years ago. However, there are several Han*** Fabric stores in
the Memphis area. Personally I prefer them to Joann's but the nearest
Han*** store to me is a 3 or 4 hour drive. Maybe you could add Han***'s to
your list for him to visit in Memphis. They generally have their Quilters
Shades (handdyes) on sale if you like the handdyes. I prefer to use them
generally over solids. But it's a personal preference thing.
