Mary Beth Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 My DH and I have been planning a fishing trip this summer to Kewaunee, Wisconsin (the weekend after MQS - whew), we are going through Iowa to pick up my BIL and then on to the fish - will be traveling on highway 151. Is there anyone out there that lives on or near that route that can tell me some good quilt stores to visit?? I have a directory of Mid-West Quilt stores, but those books seem to have not order, or at least I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mary Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tymless1 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Mary Beth, There is a quilt shop in Fond du lac, Wisconsin called Wool and Needle, 46 N. Main St. It has beautiful fabrics, wool, etc. They were featured in the Quilt Sampler magaine last fall. They are right downtown on main in an old building. It is worth the stop. Also you can go to www.quiltshops.com and pull up shops. Happy Quilting! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebecca/Illinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thank you Rebecca. Yes, I have done several searches, and found a few along the way...but I just thought if you all had favorites it would keep me from wasting time...I will take a look at the one you mentioned.

tymless1 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Okay Mary Beth, On our way home from Minnesota yesterday I was looking at the map 151 and guess what, "Quilt Shops" until you drop. lol On hwy 23 left out of Dodgeville going north is a small town Spring Green, Oh my goodness a Quilt Shop - Country Sampler - large selection of beautiful fabric (vintage). Lots of quilt kits and sales on kits. website is www.sgcountrysampler.com. Moving on to Mount Herb, right on hwy 92 to Belleville is ANOTHER Quilt Shop - www.patchesandpetals.com - I go to this one once or twice aweek, kind of a favorite. Nice selection of Batiks. I live an hour away from this shop. Madison has a few but I don't shop Madison alot. North of Madison just off 151 easy to get to Sun Prarie, ANOTHER Quilt Shop - J J Stitches - 221 E. Main St. Loads of fabric, one room just reproductions. This is another favorite of mine. I have pictures of JJ's if you want to see them. Also website www.jjstitches.com - WOW! I guess that is it for now. These are a few of my favorite. Happy Quilting ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebecca/Illinois The Cottate Quilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
