[Northkeep] Fabric Weight question

[LRA]

Wow! That does sound cool. But the questions is.... is there a weekend free
in the next few months when we could do such a decadent thing? Summer in
Dallas is warm.

....... Well. so much for the thought I had over the weekend (while
straightening up the sewing room and boxing up several large containers of
too-good-to-pass-up-fabric) of not purchasing any more fabric until I made a
big dent in the stuff I have! Ah, nuts! One can never have enough fabric.
Naturally, my husband has a different opinion.
