My youngest DD and DH have always made it a tradition. Thanksgiving dinner, turkey coma, up at 4am to be on the road by 5 for all the Black Friday sales....me...I stay in bed and meet them around 10 for a cup of tea/coffee and some shopping. Joanns had the Accuquilt for $199 and that is the cheapest I have ever seen it. I am still thinking that I should have gotten it, but ah well. I do know some of the larger Joanns do have specials on the machines at this time.
