For the longest time I couldn't figure out why quilters were sending their tops to LA. Why Los Angeles? Duh....
Ah ha! Now I know why you were asking about flimsy!! Nice compilation:) And I love your "new" doxies--my sister and niece each have 2 wired haired doxies. Me, I stick to my Raggies:)

Would you mind if I used your list on my blog? I will give credit you for it? My distant non-quilting family read my blog it would be helpful to them.
This is a great article. You made my smile. Your writing is witty and warm.
