Not sure if the Illinois Quilters are aware of this "shop" they are primarily traveling shop that goes to quilt shows and sells fabric . I have seen them many times at the International Quilt show in Chicago and have purchased from them many times. They always have a booth filled with 1/2 yard cuts for $2.75, good selection good quality. I just saw some of the same fabric at a local store for $9.50 per yard.
Any how they have a warehouse and hold open houses a few times per year. The next one is Spetember 4, and 5th. The hours will be 9-5. They are located in Bloomington IL 416 Olympia drive Behind the Palace theaters. Phone - 1-888-3819. They do have a small on line business , mostly bundles. Maybe I'll being "seeing" you there!! http://bolines.com/ |

They are going to have another open house on November 28 and 28. They have four scheduled open houses per year ( at least that what this years schedule called for ). |
Thanks for this information! I'll have to check them out.
