  408. I can't tell you how much I look forward to your daily postings of all of the booths! What "eye candy!" Love seeing them. Huge thank-you!

  411. Loved everything about market. Live in small place and don't get out much. So it is a pleasure to see that I'm still up with the times. Especially Zen Chic.

  414. I'd love to win one of the pretty fabric bundles! I'd like to see a utube video by Me and My Sister's new collection. They project so much fun in quilting that it makes one want to start a new project right away!
