I more or less inherited this one.  I got what I got.

Quite likely.

Well naturally.  My sister and niece have gotten multiples. I've got random 
bits assembled for another few, and fabrics stashed together for at least 
another two.  Then there's the 500 pounds of fabric sitting here awaiting 
inspiration....

-> 
-> No old muslin but may use some new. A friend in GA gave me some larger
-> butterfly appliques on muslin I may incorporate in with the smaller
-> ones. BTW, did you know that muslin got its name from Mosul, Iraq?

Can't say I did.   

-> -> bit earlier too, could be that it's gone before we come.
-> 
->  RH> Ours doesn't start until June at least. It's just as well; stuff 
would

-> 
-> Ours didn't freeze but was gone before we got there. I did get eggs,
-> sugar snap peas, baby potatoes, butter crunch lettuce, radishes, a
-> raspberry-rhubarb empandada, a whole wheat cinnamon roll, some garlic on
-> the stalk and a dishcloth. Got the last empanada so bought the roll for
-> Steve as he's not that fond of rhubarb. The airport at RDU set a new
-> record low temperature Friday night too, 41 degrees, so it was chilly
-> (and windy) at the market Saturday morning.

Poor Steve - I was raised on rhubarb.  My mother loves the stuff.  I'm not 
sure how one cooks a dishcloth.(LOL)  It'll be 90 here by the end of the 
week. My MS is not pleased with the weather bopping around.
