Quiltinglady is right about the shop in Staunton. They have a nice big selection of both precuts and yardage, especially Moda. Here is the link to their Facebook page.: https://www.facebook.com/MiniMallQuiltShop Also, there is a nice shop in Highland, which would be a little closer for you. Here is her website: http://rosemarysfabricnquilts.weebly.com/ There is also this one in Greenville: https://www.facebook.com/FarmlandQuiltingEmbroidery Highland and Greenville are both within 40-50 miles of Centralia. Hopefully any or all of these will be helpful. An interesting summer attraction in Centralia is their Balloonfest in August. A three day event focused around hot-air balloons. Hope you have a great summer. Send me a message if you ever want to go shop hopping! :-)

Rosemary's Fabric and Quilts in Highland, IL and CrossPatches in Collinsville, IL are 2 nice shops. Rosemary's is in an old house close to the downtown area and has lots of reproductions and 1930's prints. It is surprising the amount of "stuff" that can fit in a small house. Be sure to check the basement (which is where the sale stuff is)! CrossPatches has more modern fabrics and colors and also sells machines. They are located in a strip mall. Not sure how long the drive would be but would be nice summer drive and can be done in the same day. Not far from Fairview Heights.

Thank you so much to everyone that has given me hope and names & locations of so many shops. I will have plenty of time to be visiting quite a few of these shops. How fun. I love to do road trips. So this will be perfect.
