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!!

Bought fabric from these folks in Pigeon Forge, TN, in March 2010. They're really nice folks.

Oh, no! I'm traveling to Michigan that weekend. I'm only 45 minutes from Bloomington, would sure to see this and look for bargains. But we're getting on the road on Sept. 3. If you ever hear of them coming again, please post.

This is their home base at that location , they did tell me that if they are not out at a show that they would make sure to be there at the warehouse if there was a group wanting to come they would make an appointment. Give them a call if you have some quilting buddies and want to go .
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 ).
