Quilt Shop for one spool of thread, spent $90.00

I went to my favorite quilt shop, Quilted Memories, they are in Montague, MI Open Sunday, 1 to 5 pm. The trip is about 40 miles round trip, but it was a beautiful day, no sun (I hate driving in the sun), no rain and warm. I needed to drive, but not in traffic, I went the highway all the way with the radio blasting. I kept the speed at 60 mph to save on gas.

I only needed one spool of embroidery thread, for a special project. Yep, as you can see I bought more than thread! I can't resist when Jill starts showing me all quilts and fun things. I admit I have not been to a quilt shop since November 2009. Oh, I wanted to go but husband unemployed and more important things like the gas heating bill.

I bought the strip ruler by Cozy Quilt. It is called Strip Tube Ruler. Nice gizmo.

Than I bought a pack of bali 2-1/2 strips for a quilt called Tradewinds, the pattern is free

at the website, see the quilt above. OK, my quilt will be different colors, but when I get it done, I will show it off.

I bought a few other things, will tell you about later.
