Fun with Fabric / Route home via fabric shops?
« on: August 15, 2021, 22:13:48 PM »
First night away from home since early March 2020 in a couple of weeks. Very very sadly it's for a family funeral. It's before 10 in the morning and near Keighley around 5 hours drive away so an overnight stay makes the most practical option. We've stayed several times at a lovely gourmet pub about 30 mins away just outside Burnley...so driving up to Immanuel's might make a more cheerful destination on the way up.
As we expect to be on our way back around 2 we can go back on the M1 and stop off at either Fabworks in Dewsbury or Waltons in Goldthorpe. Finding it hard to choose. I could do with some curtaining, wadding for odd projects, remnants for dolls' clothes and fabric for hats - simple sewn bucket/sunhat style but in autumn/spring fabrics as I need more face protection after recent problems. Immanuel's is probably the best single choice for that but I have the chance of a second. I don't have to buy anything to enjoy the visit, just feeling new fabric will be pleasure enough to relieve at least a little of the sadness of the day.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
