ALWAYS!!! I even have a wonderful DH who doesn't mind all the stopping & often extra driving. The exception to that would be one trip where we had the Quilters' Travel Companion & after searching for over half an hour, found out she had closed-GGGrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! This was before cell phones, or I would have called the shop. It wouldn't have been so bad excep for earlier in the day we had done the same searching only to find the shop had moved! (Would you believe the business next to her old location had never heard of her?? How crazy is that??!!)
