One evening Laura picked me up to go to her LNS Inspired Needle (and my future LNS :-)) Cathy, the owner, has opened the shop last November and what a great shop it is. Lots of charts, threads and more threads and linens. She also has a monthly stitch-in evening which I definitely will join when I move! It was great meeting Laura and Cathy and my move to Illinois is less daunting now. Laura is planning on lots of stitching get togethers, shopping trips and eating burrito's and that sounds great to me!!!!! :-)

My stash :-)I will post some stitching updates in the weekend. I have started and finished the Blackbird Designs freebie 'Souvenir de France' and today is my Friday SAL on Miss Lila's Garden.

Wow, great stash! How much fun is that, you've already found a LNS before you've even moved there! Chicago is a great city - so much to do and see! Good luck with your househunting!
Anything is easier with a friend and moving is no exception! Great stash and looks like a great store! You're going to love Chicago!
That's so great that you have a stitching friend all ready for you in Chicago! Looks like a great LNS as well. Great stash! Good luck with everything.
How nice to have time to get it all set up in advance, the house your new LNS etc. CJ ok;-)

Oh Karin, great new LNS and great new stash. I'd take every single piece at once, lol.
Good luck with your house hunting.
Woohoo looks like fun! Great stash too.
Great new stash!! It sounds like you've already found some of the best parts of the area. ;)
Love that purple snowman! I have the red and green snowman in my stash,but no purple snowman. Guess I will have to add it to my wish list.
Karin, it was great to meet you in person! I look forward to stitching with you and getting to know you better. Good luck with the house hunting.
I'm sorry to hear you're moving from the great state of NJ! LOL! Wishing you all the best in Chicago...

Sounds like things are moving along well. I'm very familiar with Naperville from when I lived in the Chicago area and my 2 best friends and B-I-L still live there. I think you will like it if you do buy a house there. Next time I'm in the area I plan on visiting the new shop you were at. There is also a nice shop in Orland Park you should check out called the Country Cupboard or something like that. My husband will be in Naperville in a few weeks visiting his brother and going to his favorite place - Buona Beef - great Italian beef sandwiches!
I'm glad that you were able to find an LNS! I'm sorry we didn't have the opportunity to meet in person while you were there - I hope you love living in Chicago as much as I did!
Good luck with the house hunting!
All sorts of good wishes on your transition to Chicago! That's on the top of my list of cities I need to visit.
