Another Sunday, Another Mall

Despite the fact that I have become a devoted on-line shopper and am on a first-name-basis with our UPS guy (Tony), we were forced to seek out the giant shopping village at Winter Gardens yesterday in order to visit a Barnes and Noble. The Lakeland store closed in March and I've yet to find a funky bookshop or decent used-book store. I so miss the college-town shops. My current hometown has whole streets devoted to medical supply stores and pharmacies (I know, I know, I brought this on myself). Anyway, I was able to pick up the chapter-books I was seeking for Bella who is reading like mad - it is heartening to talk books over the phone with a 7-year old.
My only other purchase was backing-fabric for this quilt. This top has been finished for a while, but as it is king-sized, the task of actually quilting it is daunting. I'm going to have to do some mad hand-basting in order to even handle the thing. It's very jungle-ly, but I was hooked on batiks at the time. Time to stitch. --cds
