We make road trips to shops in Austin & San Antonio, 150-200 mi each way
I guess we Texans just LOVE to drive !
If I lived near Paducah I think Hancocks would be my 2nd home ! :)

[quote=lorniki]I have asked for their catalog twice so far and have not received it -- what is the secret?[/quote
So have I and still have not received this catalog. I thought it would be here in October.

After a bit, I realized he was standing next to me. "Hi!" said I. He just smiled and said, "Do you realize we've been in here for four hours?"
Fours Hours??? no. I did not. I was clueless. I felt Drunk. So I let him guide me to the check-out. I had bags of things, even though I felt I was doing my very best to control my urges. We drove home and I believe I had to go to bed. hahaha...
Perhaps an experienced quilter would have been less shocked, less dazzled by what she saw. But as a newbie who needed Everything and who was so unaware of all that was available... my senses were bombarded. The quilty fairies took charge of my brain. And my credit card!
It was a Grand Day.

Glad you had a good experience. I hate going to Hancocks in Paducah. Seems I can never find anyone that knows where anything is and if I do find someone not busy, all I get from them is "That's not my dept." Unless you have hours to look at every row, you can't find anything.
