On the way from/to...
Howdy!
There's a quilt shop on the way home from the dentist's office; well, there is if I go that way! After bravely enduring yet another tooth filling, don't I deserve a little prize (besides the pencil w/ the funky eraser)? Of course I do! So on the way to the post office to mail my baseball squares, I stopped at the s.Arlington quilt shop, E.S.P. (I met you & your parents there, Roberta Z.), which is just a 1/2 block up the street from the dentist (it really is, altho' I don't live in that direction g), and *mercy!* did I find some goodies. Get 10% discount w/ guild membership card, get 20% discount for clearing the bolt, and get a bag of really beautiful fabric, some for autumn, some for now, some Spectrix, some Hoffman, some I dunno' who made it. Brought it home, set it to whirl in the washing machine (conveniently located by the back/garage door), and I'm feeling so much better. ;-D So, wanna' tell us, what's your quilt shop on the way from or to or just barely off your intended path---? Cheers! Ragmop/Sandy--what's 100ºF for, if not to duck into the a/c-ed LQS?!!!? |

There is one about 5 blocks from my house and I walk by it to get to the Y where I do water aerobics & yoga and I drive by it almost everytime I go someplace with the car. Fortunately, I don't take my purse along to the Y most of the time There is another good one about a mile from my son's house in the Twin Cities, and we drive right by it whenever we go to his house.

I used to swing wide and go to my LQS on the way to the grocery store, but now
that I'm on this "fabric diet" I shop at a different grocery to avoid the LQS so it won't tempt me into buying. Sandy in Chapel Hill, NC Ragmop wrote: So, wanna' tell us, what's your quilt shop on the way from or to or just barely off your intended path---? |

Here in Santa Cruz, there is a quilt shop in the shopping center with local
bookstore, hardware store, stationary store, and See's Candy and a movie theater. It is across the street from my bank, and on the way to/from the health food store that I shop at several times a month. Over the years, I have disciplined myself to avoid going into See's, unless I am buying something specific (for gift or holiday), I am applying that same theory to the quilt shop, i.e. don't go in unless I am looking for something specific. Cuts down on the financial outgo. . . lisae Ellison wrote: Howdy! There's a quilt shop on the way home from the dentist's office; well, there is if I go that way!

I have a Joanns in the same shopping center as the Acme where I shop.
Bonus - it's in an enterprise zone so they charge half the normal sales tax (3% instead of 6% in my case). My favorite shops are stand alone itineraries - not on the way to or from anywhere! I hit two of them to and from my mom's in Florida - the new shop in Deland and the Whippoorwill in Silver Springs. -- Alice in NJ RCTQ - "Royal Cybrarian" www.ourcyberfamily.us "Friendship make prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it."

Well, TSWLTH happens to be across from a post office - not my closest post office, but it's the closest one that takes debit cards and I always manage to not have cash on me for some reason. Then there's the scrapbook store next to the drugstore where I buy milk... Meghan |
