    A quilt shop in the area where I work is closing and everything is 40% off. So I stopped cause I was looking for a certain novelty fabric and remembered seeing it there. I got that (didn't need 1 yd, but wouldn't cut for anything less, but hey, needed to upgrade my stash anyway ;-) ) So, I got 2yds fabric then found a 12 in sq ruler, Omni grid grip one, (mine has the corner chopped off), and then I struck gold! I got some Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting. One was queen and one king, for quilts I have in the planning stages. I got over $70 worth of supplies for about $42!!!! Her prices were low anyway, so it was awesome. I may just go back one more time before they close for good. Man! I could go broke saving money! 8-)

    Yeah, so sad! And one in the area where my son leaves is closing. Got some good buys there weekend of the 4th. Her last day is Friday.

    Hmmmm, my mom used to live in Sycamore IL. She goes out there occasionally on business. Possible road trip?
