You did, Ebbie....you gave me some on my one and only visit to Juneau, I haven't used them yet though. Commonsense should have told me that the larger quills come from larger animals than our little echidnas. On our (also one and only) visit to the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada - now that's a fascinating place - we saw some moccasins and boots decorated with beads and/or quills. But I would still like to return to Juneau, I loved it.

Just the thought of packing up almost 23 years' worth of living is giving me a touch of the vapours. We have decided that we are not going to have a garage sale - anything we don't want will be donated to the Salvation Army to sell in their stores. They have done well out of what we have cleaned out so far, and there is a lot more to come. As far as we know, the money is used for welfare programs for people who need it more than we do.

But they are not getting my fabric stash........
