Kathi, I love those places you went to. We go once the a month there. I have Amish friends and I take them to Zinks to. So much fabric and reasonable.
When you were in Cleveland there was the Sewing Expo at the IX Center this weekend. Fabulous show.We went there and we saw and learned so much of new stuff. Fantastic.

I love all the places you mentioned. We were in Ohio in June of 2009, went to Canton for a grandsons wedding. Then we spent three days in the area you are talking about. I want to go back!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm about 45 min. south of Berlin! I was just there about 2 weeks ago. I got all the fabric to make a jar quilt at Grandma Fannies and some other great fabrics at Helping Hands. I LOVE Kaufmans' Country Craft Cupboard and their wool room! Im also about 20 minutes from The Material Girl! I have tons of LQS options! In my opinion, though, I think Zinck's has really cut the amount of cottons that they used to have. They used to have tables and tables of flat folds that were seconds and really inexpensive. If you were careful and lucky...you could find lots of good pieces. I usually stop and look here, but haven't bought anything in a long time, well, mostly because of a personal experience. (I was in the store one time when the owner was interviewing a prospective employee loudly enough for the whole store to hear and was very condescending and rude to her. I can't get that out of my head and can't spend my money there.)

Nope, luv-e - you"re not the only woman in Ohio who hasn't been there. I didn't know about any of these places. But that will change soon. I will grab my older sister, and we'll make a good weekend trip out of it. :)
