I worked at the fabric department here in town. When I found out they were closing it, I decided to retire. Didn't want to put up with the 'flack' by working in another department. The LQS here closed, so the nearest is 13 miles away. The husband and I make a day of it when we (meaning me) want to go shopping. I made a baby quilt for the girl next door and DH picked out the flannel for the backing. New mommie still remarks about that. Saw the grandpa on his front porch before it got cold and he had baby wrapped up in the quilt, so I know that one is used and loved.
