I had a three hour drive to court at 9:30 am so I left home at 6:30 and said there is no way I am gonna rush back when court was done at 12:30 so I could be in the office for an hour and a half. I just about had my eight hours in already :) So I shopped my way home and hit three quilt shops. It made the long drive bearable and at the first shop I changed out of my suit and heels into comfy clothes :)
Isn't the internet great??? Just a few years ago we'd have missed all these shops but now we can just go online and get a list in order to plan our trips. My sister keeps a list of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois shops in her car. Sometimes it takes her two days to make the 7-8 hour trip from her house to mine.
