I don't even have a store that sells thread within 10 miles and I live in the city. If I run out of something it takes me so long to just make a quick run to Joanne's or a quilt shop by the time I get back I'm out of the mood.

Feel your pain. Is that why quilters buy so much stuff???

Just in case. . .

That's too bad, always something.

Oh I understand. Now not as tragic-- I had one inch to go on quilting a quilt the other night and ran out of bobbin thread--maddening but not as bad as having to wait a couple of days to get more thread.
