You walk in with laser focus—thread aisle, here I come!

But then…

• A fat quarter bundle practically throws itself into your arms.

• There’s a new pattern you swear was made just for that fabric in your stash (that you totally remember where you put).

• Someone mentions there’s cobbler in the classroom (you must investigate).

• And oh! That one ruler you've been eyeing is finally back in stock.

Fast forward an hour and 35 minutes…

You walk out smiling, bag brimming with 14 fat quarters, 3 new patterns, a snack, a backup seam ripper (just in case), and a vague sense that… you forgot something.

And sure enough…

The thread.

Sound familiar?

You are not alone.

In fact, we call this the “Fox Country Detour.”

It happens so often, we’re considering making t-shirts.

We want to hear your version of this story!

The Fox Country Team will pick our favorite to win a mystery quilting notion—because clearly, you need one more thing in that bag of yours.

Quilt on!
