Does anyone else remember the dime stores called "Ben Franklin" and "Kress"? We still have K-Mart here. And I do indeed remember Ben Franklin and Kress, both of which lasted for a long time in the small town in Arizona where we used to live. In fact, the fabric for one of my first quilts came from Ben Franklin. The fabric is falling apart, unfortunately; I bought it before I knew about the different grades of greige goods. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

We still have a Ben Franklin. It's about 30 minutes from me but that's ok.

blue light - special
Howdy!
Kmart hauled themselves out of here years ago; however, they didn't remove their ads from broadcasting. g Mr.Blue Light (he's Special!) is their pitch-bulb: http://www.kmart.com/ http://tinyurl.com/nomwm8 http://tinyurl.com/kurc73 I don't shop at wallyworld, either: don't have to, can't make me!

Julia in MN Mickie Swall wrote: Lets keep these stores sorted, John, the "blue light" belongs to KMart, not Walmart! Mickie snip the converse of that argument is, "I made a design choice by choosing one of many quilts for sale at Wallmart, buying the quilt and I now I want to enter it in the show".

Local quilt show: be ye kind
Howdy!
Returning from Ft.Worth today, coming down ol' Mansfield Hwy, there it is: Polly's Tavern. Building has seen better days, but there was quite a bit of traffic in the parking lot. Said to myself: "Of course! She prob'ly comes by to give quilting lessons & deliver cover-ups to the needy little ones." R/Sandy- remembering a couple of bumper stickers at the truck stop: "be kind to your kids: they'll be deciding when to pull the plug" & "be kind to your kids: they'll be picking out the coffin" ...so endearing... On 8/18/09 8:15 PM, in article , "Polly Esther" wrote: Glad you like my online name - for obvious reasons I need to cloak my identity. I enjoyed your thoughtful post, even if you were procrastinating. Procrastination is good; one day the thing that Must be Done will go away. It could happen. As to being kind, my sister signs her posts with: 'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.' Every time I see it, I'm glad for the reminder. Polly "Edna Pearl" wrote... You crack me up, Polly, from your screen name to your pithy post. And I agree with you. *Friendly snipping & a Howdy to Edna Pearl |

Woolworths was one of the anchor stores when the mall was first built. We had a Murphy's for the longest time too. I miss being able to go to Murphy's and being able to get button twist, school supplies, a goldfish, and lunch (including an honest to goodness made right in front of you ice cream soda with genuine ice cream), and still have change for the Lion's Club gumball machine. And not one iota of anything came from China. NightMist -- Legolas is my house elf |

The K-Mart special
i wasn't going to chime in, but, quilting is an art form, no one will
dispute this. therefore, all artists do not create the same and who are we, any of us, to judge what another person deems necessary or chooses to do with their creations. myself, i love SITD, i also love machine quilting and crossing over the seams. i love artsy quilts and traditional patchwork. it's all beautiful. let's all lighten up and enjoy the work we do and share. amy in CNY |
