So my better half is running in a marathon in Bloomington, IN this weekend. I was thinking about packing up a plastic tote and my sewing machine and taking it with me. I will have about 5 hours worth of alone time and it would be perfect to get my pinwheel quilt top done....Does that seem CRAZY? Or should I just visit LQS's while I'm there?

I'd go for the LQS if you don't get to that city often.

I say explore the area, you never know what you may discover.

If it were me, I would do a search on what LQS's are in the area. If it looked like there were some really good ones I would plan on looking/shopping. Otherwise I would bring my machine.
Perhaps some of the members here will know of some LQS's in the area. Have a good time. :-D

I would explore too, but if you are like me, you will need to take some extra money because you know you are going to find something you can't go home without (lol)

I'm with everyone else. If it's an area you don't go to very often, definitely take in the sights - those sights being the LQS's! :lol: And then, of course, report back to us what you found!!!! :lol:

With my luck I will find a great deal on a sewing cabinet and HAVE to buy it...:)

Well here I go to use Lord Google and see what I find there for LQS.
