A Nice Time

This morning I met A. at Michael's craft store. We browsed the yarn department where my friend found some colorful yarn with which to crochet a baby blanket. From that store we drove down to the quilt shop and the yarn shop which happen to be right next to one another. I came home with a knitting magazine containing colorful sweaters. Neither of us bought anything in the quilt shop, but what fun it is to just look at all the beautiful projects one could make, or at all the beautiful fabrics one could buy. The quilt shop sells Bernina sewing machines and even had a long arm machine on display. That machine would be useful if you quilted your own quilts, or if you had a quilting business, and quilted things for others. It was about $9000. for that machine alone. Quite a price, I'd say. I'll stick with my Viking sewing machine and if I want a more professional look to my quilts, I'll send them out to be quilted. I'm sure I wouldn't spend $9000 for doing that in the rest of my lifetime. It's always fun to see A. I miss her since she's been in FL. Perhaps if and when she relocates, I'll get to see her more often.
