Pretend you're going to a ginormous fabric store far away...

All you ladies are so fun! Great ideas all, especially taking a big car. Unfortunately I'll have to make do with my Mini Cooper. I'm going up to M&L tomorrow. My teenager is going with me (driving practice, plus he's going to WonderCon and Disneyland over the weekend). I told him to make sure he has his laptop and charger with him and he could go in and find an out-of-the-way plug to amuse himself while I shop. He said, "How long are you planning on being there?" He got 'the look' then said, "Oh never mind, I don't know what I was thinking!"

Have fun, I was talking to a couple of ladies about M&L on Monday I'm planning a trip there with a friend sometime in the next couple of months.

I thought it was pretend? So much fun to think of the limitless budget. But whree is M&L, it is something I am not familiar with and sounds like it should be on my map in case I'm in the area.
Enjoy the time with your son when you're not shopping

I would take my list of needed fabrics and swatches with me to check on finding those first. Then I would look at the trending fabrics of that area. I always enjoy seeing what is being made in another city/state. Then, say maybe a favorite class pattern or ruler that is being offered? I might not get to take the class, but, often they will sell you all of the materials to make it at home.
I just bought the numbered flower head pins that I had to get from out of town and the spicy spiral pattern. I checked at all of the stores around here and they didn't carry it. So, you see what I mean? Not all places have the same patterns and projects. It is fun and sometimes rewarding to get something everyone else doesn't have.
