Hi Tom, So you're in St. Pete on the bay? I could definitely use some of those containers. I'm in north Tampa, though, so I'd have to sort of plan out the trip. By the way, I was just emailing with Elizabeth from Daytona, and she asked if I had met an awesome gardener named Tom from Tampa - I wonder if you're that Tom. Also, your neighbors have coconuts? I've really been wanting to try to grow a coconut palm, even though I don't know if it would survive. Do you think they might be willing to sell me a couple? Are they dwarfs or talls?

Hi Storey, Would love to get your P. coccinea and thunbergia clock vine but don't have any of your wants. I do have some white fragrant crinums, yellow flag iris, blue/purple with yellow beardless iris, red pine cone ginger, EE "Chicago Harlequin" and amaryllis, not Red Lion, but they are dark red. If you want more cannas, I have tall yellow with orangy splashes around throat, perhaps "Richard Wallace". Thanks, Betsy

Thanks for pointing out the free patterns, Rosa. I haven't been on their site for awhile, but I don't remember seeing that feature before either. I order all of my thread from Connecting Threads and have been pleased with their customer service. Bonnie

Dirt Under My Fingernails Do you mean the #4370? If so, it is yours. Please send me your snail mail address and I'll get these all out today. LindaLu I just sent you an email. Send me your snail mail address and the #9801 is yours. Enjoy! Gemini40 Not really, LOL! I'm just sharing some good karma. One of our members was so kind to send me a pattern she wasn't using and I was searching for. She wouldn't accept payment, so I thought I'd share some of my patterns and let a few others feel happy to get a new project. I still have two patterns looking for a home... ----- Very Easy Vogue, #7424, Skirt and asymmetrical top suit, sizes 12/14/16. http://www.antiquedollhouseofpatterns.com/shopcart/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=11&products_id=15420 ----- University Moda, #MU12, Patchwork Tiles quilt pattern. I can't find a link anywhere. It's based on fat-quarters and shows a 7" inch center square tihe four-patch corners and double 2x7 bars between the corners. It's a good pattern to highlight certain fabrics. ----- This has been fun for me. As I make more progress in the sewing room, maybe I can offer a few more things!
