dchenesFabric shopping should not involve a five-and-a-half-mile hike.
It did in today's case, because: (a) Winmil Fabrics didn't have anything I was excited about, (b) the only other fabric store I could think of and get to was the Cambridge Quilt Shop, (c) I knew the Cambridge Quilt Shop was somewhere around the Fresh Pond Mall, and (d) I knew I could walk to the Fresh Pond Mall from Harvard Square because I did it by accident earlier this summer, but (e) I forgot which side of the Fresh Pond rotary the fabric store was on. So I walked from Harvard Square to Alewife, walked all over hell's half acre around Alewife and couldn't find the place, gave up, walked back to Harvard Square, remembered that there's an Economy Hardware in Central Square and they'd have Metro shelf clips, and walked there. And then took the T home, thank you very much.
Tomorrow, armed with directions, I'm going fabric shopping.
