Now I don't feel so bad for not looking for it before. So did it open in
2005, not 5 years ago? I just love the place.
Come to think of it, I don't even think I had started to quilt 5 years ago.
End of 2004 would have been my inaugural quilting attempts. It was the
year Material Girls' brick-and-mortar shut down. I happened upon the
closing sale.
I've kept a little "diary" of each trip except 2007. That was the year I
got home at 10:00 PM. Hadn't even gotten to Popeye's until after 7:00 PM.
I went everywhere (except JR Flamingo's) and chatted with every body as the
day went on. I think Sacramento is a downright friendly town. Of course, I
don't think I've even made it into the Sacramento city limits!
