Fabric Store

[laura44]

Anyone been here? I would shop for hours. No, on second thought
it would be so confusing. Probably dirty too.

Re: Fabric Store

I was at an over-crowded store similar to this in the Twin Cities. I did not enjoy it. Too hard to pull bolts to examine more closely or to match with coordinating fabrics.

It might be interesting, but I think you could catch something in there.....like bugs or a rat!

Re: Fabric Store

I would be afraid it all might come caving in on me and kill me.

Re: Fabric Store

I like seeing the pictures but I wouldn't want to go there....way too much sensory overload and not enough breathing space.

Re: Fabric Store

O ye faint of heart..............I would LOVE digging around in there.

Re: Fabric Store

I couldn't do it, too difficult to shop.

Re: Fabric Store

It looks like a ball to poke around and find some older fabrics as well as something to go with everything.

Re: Fabric Store

OH, I would love to shop there. What an adventure that would be... all I need is a partner/driver to get the party started.

Re: Fabric Store

I think some OCD would kick in if I went there. There used to be a fabric store near me that every time I walked in I felt an almost overwhelming urge to straighten and organize. There was just too many bolts and they were stacked bolt in front of bolt so you couldn't really see what was there.

Re: Fabric Store

It doesn't look like a place to shop for me. It's just too crowded and jumbled for me to make any sense of it.

But.... if I was on a hunt for a specific fabric, this WOULD be the place to search. Granted, it would take time to hunt since it looks like there isn't any sign of organization in the store.

Re: Fabric Store

Faint of heart? No. Sensible. I would not be able to breathe with all the dust that has to be in that claustrophobic nightmare. I'll pass.

Re: Fabric Store

I have been there several times and it is not for the faint-of-heart. There is a second floor with fabric also but I stayed below. Last time I was there about a thousand potholders fell behind me. I had not touched them and the saleslady was not the least concerned. Acted like it happened everyday. Maybe it did. I spent the rest of that shopping day standing beside the door. FYI the fire department is just across the street.

Once was enough! I think quiltingtrish loves Obie's.

That's pretty appropriate. lol

There was a thread about this store a couple of yeas ago. I had posted about the log cabin heart quilt that is in the article. A few members had said they had been there.
