    Default Gruber's Fabric Store?

    Any one in my neck of the woods every been to or ordered from them? My son gave me a gift certificate to them for Christmas, and we're doing a road trip there on Friday. Any thoughts or suggestions??

    I have been there and would go any chance I could get. They are wonderful. Huge top tier quilt shop that even has a café. these are absolutely top of the line fabrics with very knowledgeable quilting experts as staff. some employees are pattern designers and their patterns are available. I know people who have had excellent experience with their online store, also. I am not affiliated with them in any way, I just consider them probably the best( and biggest) quilt shop in Minnesota.

    Great store and very good customer service, but a little spendy. Good quality fabric . Its only 7 miles from my house.

    I visited Gruber's last summer and was amazed by the shop. The people were so friendly and helpful. I like the setup of the shop. It was separated into spaces for different quilting applications (appliqué, etc.). The last room had sales materials. It even had a scrap box where you could bag scrapes from samples the shop personnel had made. It was a really wonderful experience!
