I learned a long time ago that if I left my cart, unscrupulous shoppers would "shop" from my cart!
I am surprised your stuff was untouched while you were gone!
I, myself would never, ever do that to anyone else, but since my girls worked retail for several years, I've heard all kinds of stories.
Glad it all worked out for you.
I can't physically hold up to the sales either! I shopped online and got backings for 4.98 a yard. I'm a happy quilter! :XD:
