Since gas is once more plentiful here, I decided that I needed to check out the quilt shop that Peggy Barkle told me about a few weeks ago down in McDonough. (Had to look at a map to see just where McD was).
Mistake number one was to mapquest the directions to the store instead of using the directions on their website. I figured cutting through the backway would be faster than going down I75. I knew I had seen Rock Chapel Rd on one of my trips to Conyers. Could I find it yesterday? Last evening when looking at a map found out Hwy 24 is Rock Chapel Rd once you hit the DeKalb line) but I digress...anyway I meandered around in circles and saw some pretty nice houses (don't know where I was). I love being on a road that I have never been on before and I had the magical gas, so who cares! Eventually I ended up on I75 and made my way to The Scarlet Thread-which by the way is right off the interstate. The shop is a very nice one with lots of different types of fabrics-brights like Intown and the more traditional like Sweet Home. (More to come about the Evil Temptress)
I bought the pattern Kris and I have been waiting for for the Amy Butler bag that she wants and 2 other patterns.
Then I decided I would check out the sale in Jackson. I lost another road on Mapquest but got to Jackson anyway. Nothing tempted me at that shop so I was in and out in about 15 minutes.
On the way home I detoured off I75 again and decided to come up on smaller roads-it was a pretty although cloudy day-looked like a real Fall day. So I am on GA20 going north because I know I can cut up to Snellville that way. Funny thing happened the car (on it's own) turned toward Sweet Home. I wonder if the Evil Temptress has tampered with my automobile??? So I am in Conyers, I guess I might as well check in on Melisa and her gang...I did help the economy there and got some fabric for latice and a border for a pattern I bought earlier in the day.
And as I told Melisa, when I got home I took a nap. It is hard work doing all that planning!

I am so glad that my 'powers' continue to be strong and irresistable! It was great to see you today, as always!
I hope you enjoyed your nap - I, unfortunately, did not get to take one. And the worst part is that the 'Committee' continued to meet ALL NIGHT LONG! What's up with that?
Yea for your road trip!! I could not go to Melisa's this weekend because I had to buy a new vacuum cleaner. That's negative fun but at least there is less cat hair around here. You need to post photos of your goodies
What a fun day! Your car is just set on auto-pilot to Sweet Home. It knows a good place :) Not much sewing going on at my house. Hopefully that will change soon.
