Michigan Quilters: Grayling Quilt Shop Closed
Greetings,
I just noticed the Ice House Quilt shop in Grayling, MI closed last year. Does anyone know why? There is a new business called Ausable Fabrics & More. Sad since the Ice House was an original ice house, beautiful shop.

I was shocked when I went there earlier this year to find them closed. When we ate at Spikes, we asked about the Ice House. We were told they closed because of "lack of support & sales" and Ally decided it was no longer worth staying open. (Have not heard nor seen AuSable Fabrics & More. ) We need to remember to support our local quilt stores.....and USA made fabrics so they can strive and survive . Have you tried Delphine's in Gaylord...........beautiful shop.

Hadn't heard about Ice House closing . . . what a shame. I do LOVE Delphine's in Gaylord and am super partial to Village Fabrics & Crafts waaaay up in Paradise. There is a GREAT new shop in Merrill (btw Alma and Saginaw on 46), too. OK, I could go on and on about MI shops I really like, but it would be a looooooong reply

It's worth the trip north
If you're heading farther north be sure to stop at Delphines in Gaylord and Indian River Quilt House before you cross the bridge to other quilt shops in the UP. Check out the Row By Row MI map to see where shops are located.
The Row By Row Experience took me to central MI. I visited some lovely shops in Greenville, Carson City, Ovid, St. Louis and Merrill. Not all were Row By Row participants but it was worth the stop. The country drive was so peaceful. The corn is as high as an elephant's eye and will be harvested doon.
