    Default Is this a good reason to move?

    I'm in San Diego for work and had a free afternoon so of course I visited quilt stores. I spent 2 hours at Rosie's. I've been there before but didn't remember how reasonable the prices are, plus she added another room since I was there last. Is it reasonable to decide to relocate based on a quilt store? Makes sense to me but DH might not see it that way. The second picture is me trying to decide which batiks had to come home with me - the most delicious decision on Earth!

    I'll try to post a picture of my spoils but probably not until get home.

    I love Rosie's! And between Rosie's and our weather - it is a great place to live. We are having a bit of a water shortage though which makes it difficult to have a pretty yard.

    If there is a bad side of Rosie's - it is too many choices. I like to go there when I need to find a color - but not if I am trying to pick out the focus fabric. Just too many great fabrics to make a decision.

    I love going to Rosie's!! I only get down there about once a year now that my daughter is no longer in College down there.
    It is sometimes overwhelming because of too many choices!

    Can't understand why it wouldn't be a reason to move , I keep trying persuade my husband to move from UK to US as there is a much better choice of fabric and prices, but for some reason he say's no lol

    I love Rosie's I was there on Tuesday. If that's not a good enough reason I can give you 3 more quilt shops within minutes of Rosie's and probably 10 more in San Diego county.

    Water restrictions are quite bothersome though so if your coming do a rain dance first we could really use it.

    I would consider that a main reason to move. You have to go where they have things that interest you. It makes a place seem more like home that much sooner. ;-)
