    Hi,
    I'll be traveling to Charlotte NC and wondered if anyone could recommend a quilt shop anywhere on the path from Knoxville, TN to Charlotte, NC?

    Looks like I'll be on I-75 then I-26.

    I don't know of any off the top of my head but if you do a search for "fabric stores in Tenn" and one for fabric stores in NC you'll find a bunch.

    yes there's mary jo's....it is worth going out of your way for! Then while you are there you can go to long creek mills for thread. I think its just around the corner. In Charlotte there is QBee Quilts. Its a small store but they are very nice. Its in the Ayrsley area. I don't venture into Charlotte city much (too much traffic) but I know there is one in Indian Trail that is supposed to be nice.

    yes, Mary Jo's is a MUST. She has everything and a bit loweer in price. At one time there was a remnent ship in Monroe NC. Havn't been there in many years. If convenient is might be worth finding. It is just off the route from Charlotte south and about a block west.
    But get to Mary Jo's.

    Do you remember anything else about where it was? Everything has grown so much and so many new roads....
