Lin's Quilts: Gander Mountain

O-Lin-pics Day 7

The athlete and Mr. Athlete had a exploration on Wednesday of the new O-Lin-pic city. They were on an expedition to find a quilt shop. The GPS, which has a female voice (should I be worried about Mr. Athlete having another woman in his truck?), took us on a misguided visit to some factory. After calling the shop, we found out it is really at most 6 miles from where out O-Lin-pic village is. But we traveled far more than that. We took the scenic route! Got to see factories and other good stuff.

With our drive longer than planned, we stopped here:

for Mr. Athlete to check some stuff out. I don't think I've been in a Gander Mountain before.

Then on to the quilt shop! (Insert trumpet flourish here.)

Ocala, Florida

There are always such bright colors, so many good ideas. So many ways to spend money... I bought supplies for 2 new projects.

Mr. Athlete is so patient. He usually walks around the stores, checking to see where things are made. Evidently, a lot of the things we use are made in China.

I got a new top made, ready for new projects soon!
