We will be traveling to the Springfield/Decatur area next week. Any suggestions of 'must see' quilt shops?

Thanks in advance for your input!

No suggestions of shops. but MAKE SURE you go downtown and see the Lincoln Museum - it is AWSOME!

I don't know of any in that area...but what route are you taking to get there. Maybe people know some along the highways/tollways you'll be traveling.

OOO Well, In rochester (just a few miles out of sfield is Piece and applique. HUGE amount of fabric and awesome people. Then there is Sew Unique on grand avenue. Not a lot of fabric, but they of stuff you don't see everywhere and are super nice, too.

Here are the sites. You really wouldn't believe how much Rochester has. WOW> I always go to both. we only live an hour from there. Which sounds far to a lot of people, but when you live in the middle of no where, you have to dirve at least 10 miles just to get to the nearest gas stations. LOL

There was a shop just on the other side of Lake Springfield - it is called Kings something - sorry I can't remember........

There it is!

Steward's Sewing Machine Shop in MT Zion (a suburb of Decatur) It's where I bought all of my machines when I lived in Decatur
415 N. State Hwy 121

:lol: I know what you mean about the middle of no where! That describes us perfectly.

Thanks, everyone, for the information. I will enjoy going to the shops!

Let me know what you think of them. I am interested to see if I just get excited because they have my favorite drug.... FABRIC! LOL

I commute to Springfield to work. There are two JoAnn Fabrics and one Hancock Fabrics in addition to the Piece and Applique quilt shop in Rochester. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield is certainly worth visit, a very interesting place. Lincoln's home and tomb are also in Springfield.

Farther afield, toward Peoria, are two nice quilt shops. The Quilt Shop is in Morton and Peddler's Way Quilt Co. is in Washington. Both are worth a visit if you are over that way.

I think this shop is now located in Rochester, where Piece and Applique is...just about 15 minutes from Springfield.

hey !!! i live in Springfield, and as posted the quilt shop in Rochester just a few miles east of Springfield is a very nice quilt shop also i have been to the one un Morton north of Springfield and it is a very nice quilt shop they both have very beautiful fabric
there is also another one if you happen to go thru Arcola (omish town ) and very small town there is a quilt shop on there downtown square they also have some beautiful material

Thanks for all the suggestions!

i forgot to tell you our walmart that is on the west side of town ( parkway point shopping) has some material and also if you are in decatur there is a town just next to it call forsyth they have a joann superstore with a lot of stuff
