Oh how true! I have an inspection scheduled next week that is north of us by about 60 miles. Hubby says lets make it a road trip, invite a couple who are dear friends of ours, they will go to a huge sporting goods store while I conduct the inspection, afterwards we will have lunch and catch up. I'm not so sure I want to do it because the most amazing, beautiful quilt shop is on our way home and I can't be near it without stopping. Hubby thinks that would be ok because how long can you be in the quilt store! Duh, sometimes he just doesn't get it! Who can put a time period on how long you can wander and drool in a beautiful store! By the way, the store is Bittersweet in Pinconning Michigan. The owner had a quilt and pattern featured in the fall/winter 2013 quilt sampler magazine, it is the very first article called "divine inspiration". Tina Bauer, the owner bought a closed church and has turned it into her shop, studio and antique store. The pictures in the magazine don't do it justice. Everyone smile from ear to ear when they walk in. And Tina is super sweet and always so appreciative to everyone who comes in her store. I took my sisters there when they were visiting me from Louisville and it just happened to be when the magazine came out and Tina was celebrating with discounts, give aways and her always present cookies and tea and a very special price on the quilt for her sharp cheddar stars quilt - we bought 2 kits, couldn't resist! (the picture of the quilt in the mag doesn't do it justice either, hanging on the wall of the church it was breath taking!)
