I stopped at Hickory Sticks in Hannibal. I love that store, they have so much of EVERYTHING!!! On Tuesday, made a trip to Kalona. I took pics of the barn quilts on the way back on Highway 22. Kalona has two great shops, I liked both of them but loved the one on the main street just a tad more. Couldn"t get to it last year as the entire street was tore up. There is a lovely Mennonite lady working in the back where the fabric is and she cuts your fabric. Loved that little touch. She was using a very large Alto Quilt cutting system to cut. Anyway, here are some pics that I would like to share.
