I've been to most of the ones mentioned but I will have to get to M&L Fabrics in CA - the blog makes it look like a can't miss!

Where is this store located??

If you add Yoders and Lollys together in the little town of Shipshewana in Northern Indiana, they have over 20,000 bolts. The quilt show there is in June.

Mary Jo's is a frequent stop of mine too. A problem there is too few carts. I've learned to take BIG shopping bags into which I put bolts of fabric. As I make my selections, I stack the bags of bolts near the end of a cutting counter until I'm ready to have it cut/torn. Fabric is heavy, so getting my bags of measured fabric to the register is difficult. I like to go in the winter. DH sleeps in the car, and comes in to help when I'm ready to haul. In the summer, it's too hot for him, and the husky, so my foray is brief.

I was at Lolly's in Shipshewana, IN yesterday. I found what I needed. That's big enough for me.

I am not a quilt shop but have you been looking in my windows again and looking at all my fabric again???? I am sorry, I couldn't help myself. Have a wonderful St. Patricks Day! Today is a very special little boys birthday, almost a grandson, Jack.

Boy I agree with that. We have NOTHING in Connecticut except Joann's since The Fabric Place went out of business. You can order on line but there's nothing like touching and feeling materials and comparing....
