I used to have louver windows on my closed in verandah when I lived in the Riverina and; the dust used to pour in there when we had a dust storm.<br />So glad you mentioned the books..I have been wanting to start reading those for a long time. I notice on your posts that the first one is the "Quilters Apprentice", so I will buy one in and take it away with me in November.
