We live 15 miles away from our local LQS. I always rationalize that given where we live, it's important that I have adequate stash available to me at all times. I'm a moody quilter and sometimes decide on the spur of the moment to make something (not on the list). What a wonderful experience to find just what I need in my "stash".
(It's also why I spend so much time online, shopping..... :mrgreen: )
