a few years ago we were out of state for a sporting event. I had googled a couple of quilts stores that I wanted to see but the only time I had free there was a fierce storm so I couldn't drive in an unknown area. But there was a Walmart across the street from our motel, so I went there to get raingear & sweatshirts for us. While there I went to the fabric dept & found some great deals for fabrics I could use for charity projects. When I checked out, tired & rainsoaked I took the bags for the raingear & sweatshirt, and a bag of fabric, which I left in the car.
When we returned home 2 days later I realized I had left 2 bags of fabric in the store. Thinking it was forever lost I did call the store just in case, they had it in customer service & mailed it to me at their expense, I was very impressed!
Of course only an addicted sewer would shop for fabric while tired, rainsoaked & a major storm & flooding outside!
