I,too, like Marden's. I just wish I lived a little closer - one is 50 miles, the other 60 or so. It's great to find brand name fabric at a reduced price.

I have 2 shops about 20 miles, 1 45 miles, 1 50 miles and 2 at about 75 miles. Of course the very best one is the one fartherest away. One of the close ones has only been open about a year and they are really building their business, it will soon be better than the fartherest away.

It's superb! In fact, I'm going there this Friday for a week long retreat.

oh my word, I'm jealous. I wish we had one of those in Texas. What an incredible idea!!!

The closest quilt shop to me is about 18 miles away. There's a fabric store 13 miles away, and then there's Walmart. That's it folks.
