Country Fabrics....

I visited this shop a while back and it is wonderful. I'm not sure if this shop is owned and operated by Amish or Mennonite...but the girl that was helping me with my fabric selection was Amish.

I am going again next week-end and am going to talk to them about their classes and maybe sign up for one (there are at least 3 that I want to do). It's about an hour's drive for me. Just thought I share the link, if you're close enough and would like to visit.

The 3 classes I'm considering are:

Mariner's Fall Beauty
Maple Leaf Log Cabin (this is a gorgeous quilt - they had it hanging in the shop)
Finishing Class

Here's something a little extra that anyone could participate in:

Okay, that looks like a place I could arrive in the morning and leave after the sun goes down! It is about 3 hours from me though and I don't get to that part of Ohio very often. What a wonderful, fully stocked shop!

It is wonderful - just bolts and bolts of fabric, pre-cuts, patterns, notions, books. My hubby went upstairs and he told me they have Amish stuff up there....straw hats and such.

ROAD TRIP???!!!!

Sounds like a wonderful place.

How does one decide what fabric to buy?

Wow they have so many wonderful classes this summer! Becki, it does sound like a road trip!

Oooohhhh, that looks like a lot of fun!!! You go and enjoy for all of us!!!!

I have to go with a list or I would be dazed and confused in there. After I get what's on my list then I start looking around for other stuff to spend my money on. They have a cart near the front with "sale" fabrics....I think I'm going to check that first to see if I find anything I want in it.

I forgot to take my camera last time I went. I'll try to remember it this time and get some pics.

The shop looks lovely, hope you enjoy your class

Oh my!!! someone like to host me a visit near Shiloh Ohio?..........I could spend a mint in that store and go back for more!! Its a long way to go for a day from Scotland!!

Looks like a great place! I used to live 15 minutes from Lancaster, PA many years ago. I took a quilting class with an Amish woman and I learned so much about working with solids. It is not as easy as it looks!

Shirley, thanks so much for posting this. I have heard of this shop, but I have never been there. It's 45 min to an hour from me as well, but looks like it would be well worth the trip. I may have to make time for it sometime soon!
