If you are in mid state, give a visit to Heritage in Gladwin; Judy is so nice & always has great deals on discontinued fabrics. Another favorite of mine is Caroline's in West Branch. An incredibly friendly bunch of ladies and so willing to share knowledge. I've visited many of the shops also listed here by others. The Ice House in Grayling is fabulous. Sew Elegant in Port Huron is a mouthwatering way to spend time, like being in a candy shop!! All the shops in Howell are awesome & so easy to work your way from one to another. Try to find a copy of the Country Register at one of these shops & see what's out here in MI! It's astounding how many shops are around. Happy hunting.
