I am trying to find quilt shops in Valparaiso, and whenever I do a search on the web, only brings one shop up!
We are going to wedding in June, does anyone have any suggestions, or a website to go to find more?

Thanks for your help!!

I think someone else on the board lives near Valpo hopefully they will be able to give you more help . Depending on what way you drive you might be able to squeeze Ericas in .

We have just one shop in Valparaiso, IN called Needle & Thread. It's a great shop and the owner, Marlene is fantastic! You might catch her at some of the quilt shows in NW Indiana as a vendor.

They used to have a Hancocks but now Valpo residents use Michigan City or Merrillville JoAnns or Hobby Lobby across from the Merrillville mall (Westfield) when they're looking for the bigger stores...or shopping online.
