Well Ladies- I will be in NC for Memorial Day week end. Told hubby I want to spend some time with my peeps. He thinks that I could be mugged and killed by the board members. :)

So maybe Saturday we could get together? I will be in Jacksonville.

Maybe a MaryJo's trip???

Barbm 04-12-2010 05:21 PM

btw- by the time I get to NC I will have driven 10 1/2 hrs. so a trip to Mary Jo's of 3 hours is nothing. :)

scrapcollector 04-12-2010 06:06 PM

My daughter lives in Spruce Pine, and I'll be there at the end of July for birth of a new grandbaby. Since we fly in and out of Charlotte, a small side trip to MaryJo's would be wonderful!!! Thanks for the tip!!

Have Jess have the baby pictures taken by the hospital photograper. Then you can view Taylor Marie online at our365.com in 24 hours or less.
I'm from Fayetteville.

Hi I'm on the border on NC in Cleveland Tn-we can now get back on HWY 64 as of today the rock slide has been cleared and I can go to Murphy, NC to the flea market-they have a small fabric shop there. Moosegirl

mrspete 04-27-2010 10:59 AM

Hey, I'm from NC, Greensboro, a neighbor to ya. I read your complaint about Hancock's, Winston-Salem. So sorry you've had that experience. I have a middle age friend who works at that shop, that is, if they don't have more than one Hancock's. Well, saying she is a friend is putting it loosely, I know a lady who works there. Now, I feel better. But, I don't know anything about the store. I go to Hancock's here on High Point Rd at Sedgefield plaza corner of Groomtown and HP Rd. I recently went to Randy's Quilt Shop...( on Lawndale where the old Sears Catalog place use to be)...pretty pricy place. I have a JoAnn's close to me. Hope you find a better experience, what about quiltville, you know www.quiltville.com. I think it is somewhere in the Wahlburg area. You probably should file a formal complaint with the management. I know lots of the places seem to have the "bend over" attitude, but we are still American's with the same Motto; "the customer is always right." Ciao, Ruth
