    Hello everyone.
    Here are the pics from our experience at Mary Jo's in NC.
    It was huge, fabric for as far as you could see. It is an old grocery store, set up warehouse style.
    They were busy the whole time we were there.

    They tear the fabric instead of cutting it which is fine, but it sure got my DH's attention as he had never seen that done before!

    Prices were not bad. Less than the LQS.

    First group of pics is of the store and the different areas.

    Then some close ups of some of the fabric and how they have it displayed. (I did like the way they had it displayed - you could touch, it and hold it out to see it without take the bolt out of place.)

    Last will be the pics of what I actually bought.
    Please wait for all to be posted. O.K. Now you can look.
    Enjoy and don't drool too much.

    Where in North Carolina is Mary Jo's located? ;-) I'll be in Durham, NC this coming week. Is it anywhere near there? ;)

    wow! some day I will go there...like some ppl go to an amusement park, lol!
    I'll be amused alright...about being surrounded by so much fabric with money burning in my pocket.
    Love your choices! what time does the next bus leave? :thumbup:

    It's in Gastonia. Not sure if it's near Durham or not.
