Have you ever been to Rutledge? They have a great fabric store there. It is owned by the same people who own the Dutchman's store at Cantril.

I love that store & make several trips a year. It's an all day
trip for me.

We also make a trip at least once a year down to Rutledge. It's an hour and a half drive one way. They have the same sort of fabrics as Dutchman's at Cantril. but always a differant assortment. They have one long wall with fabrics on curtain rods that swing out and it is from floor to ceiling. I love their fabrics. Averages around $5 ayard. A lot of it is $2.99 to $6.99.

Anyone close to us who would like to come I am hosting a Quilt Retreat at Bentonsport Sept 24 to 26. You don't have to pay to stay there you can come and join us during the day if you like! There are no fees just your meals. I thought we would probably go out to eat for supper on Sat otherwise I will probably have the owner of the B & B provide sandwiches for lunch. Haven't decide yet for Fri supper. I will do some demonstrations if anyone wants and just bring whatever you would like to work on.
I have 5 people so far and possibly one more. We have room for 12 all totalled. so we have room for 6 more.

[quote=the old one]Hi, Orange City Quilter, one of our daughters is visiting from south east Iowa, and today we went to Roelof's in Sioux Center. Where do you get your fabric? I really like scrap quilting the best, it is too hard to choose only four or five fabrics for a whole quilt (for me, that is) so I pick a color scheme and use whatever suits my eyes. Do you belong to a group? piecefully, the old one, or Gail
The "old one" is an inside family joke, but it fits!![/quo
I go to Inweave in Hawarden, for the most part. I also like to do scrappy. I don't belong to any group and am self taught. Maybe we can meet sometime? Do you belong to a group?
