One more short post tonight... because it's worth mentioning to fellow quilters. DH just got back from a week in the Czech Republic, and guess what he brought home for me... squishies!!! He did an EXCELLENT job. When we lived there, I got quite a bit of fabric, but none as high quality as what he found for me. He went to the textile shop of family members of a business associate over there. And he brought home 3 pieces of cotton and one of silk. What he found had a VERY nice hand, He got about 12 yards (10+ meters) combined of the three cottons, and one meter of the silk. Isn't he a sweetie? :)
He did the same thing for me once when going back to France. When we lived in Nantes, I had brought back quite a lot of BEAUTIFUL French toiles from my favorite store there, Bouchara. And when he went back sometime after our return to the States, he went shopping and brought me back more pieces of the toile I love so much. He did an excellent job of selecting that time also!!!

Very well trained indeed, I asked my DH to bring me home a little surprise fabric gift from a certain shop one day, and he wouldn't because he was worried he would pick something I wouldn't like, lol.... I told him I would have been really happy with anything from that shop (next time maybe) I like the second fabric, sort of African savannah toile.
