I spent the afternoon with my friend....she said to tell you gals sorry, she loves her bag and none of you will be getting it!
Cindy, I got that fabric in poundage....they charge $7 a pound and I think you get about three yards for that. I did find a picture of the fabric I actually bought, and she liked the one I mistakenly used much better! That made me happy because mama's making herself a new bag and wallet!! I did save the selvage in case someone wanted to know the name of it, but I don't have it with me right now.
Libby, when they first went over it was because her husband found a job where she was the principal of a private academy. At the time, she was the lead art teacher and Puyallup High School and he was the assistant chief for Auburn PD. He was really the one who wanted to go and she didn't think she stood a chance, but she applied and got the job! The school here agreed she could have a leave of absence for two years and they were going to come home. She had a two year contract in the islands. After a year, the school here told her she had to come back and teach, but because of the contract, she couldn't and she lost her job here, so she retired from the school district. The school over there extended her contract another year and after the third year, she retired. After two years, they started living on the boat, with their Scottie, and on vacations, the sail all over. Fiji, Vanuatu, the outer islands, etc.....I asked her today if they were coming home next summer for good, but he renewed his contract as chief for another year and so I will have to wait another year
We probably won't get to spend anytime with them because she is pretty sick with a cold and MM can't be around her. I may go by myself, but he won't be able to.
