Shopping Trips!

I revisited several shops from my travels last summer, as they are in the area of Leisure Lake Resort where we are staying. Again, I managed to make a few purchases in each store!! Who can't resist a new book or fabrics. Check out last years posts for photos. I will also be posting photos of my latest purchases soon.

Thimbles
I made two visit to Thimbles. On the first trip there, I didn't pay attention to the days of operation! It was closed.

The Sewing Center

I also visited Quilters Quest which is next door to a large tool shop! Yah!! More on this shop later. I have photos to share when they are loaded onto this tablet.

Enjoy!

The Sewing Store

I'm trying to play catch up with some of the places I visited while in the Chicago area. It was difficult to do a daily blog with an hour commute each way to and fro Chicago to our home base at Leisure Lake Resort.

On one of the few days we decided to stay 'home', I discovered The Sewing Store in a small plaza in Joliet, IL. There is a sister store in Morris, IL.

This shop, in Joliet, specializes in sewing and embroidery machines (Brother, Bernina) plus all the necessary accessories to go with them! I took other photos of the shop but discovered they are in a format not compatible with blogger (too big) and I don't have the software with me to convert them to jpg. I discovered this after I was outside thus the sign was taken as a jpg.

What was interesting: another lady came into the store while we were there. She over heard that we were travelling from the eastern part of Canada and got curious. To make a long story short, her grandmother and uncle are from St. John's, Newfoundland and she had visited there as a child. You never know who you will meet!
