Not too far away in Williamsburg there is a shop called the Woolen Needle at 225 West Welsh Street
Williamsburg, IA 52361
(319) 668-2642 They were chosen as a featured shop in the Quilt Sampler magazine for fall and out a little ways there is one called Rainbows and Calico Things at 2811 240th Street Williamsburg - if you get on their website they can give you directions.

And north and east a bit from Williamsburg are the Amanas. There is one right on hwy. 6 at S. Amana and continuing on 151 is Main Amana which has 2 that I know of and possibly another. Can't recall their names, but most anyone there can tell you. Good shopping. You'll find a lot of pretties at all of them, including Kalona. Marge L.

Fern Hill is one of them, fabric is upstairs and the other is Heritage ? in Amanas

Marge L.

You're right about Fern Hill. It is also the name of the one in S. Amana. By the way, where do you live? Must be close to me to know about the Amanas.

I live in Montrose it is down between Keokuk and Fort Madison, I've heard of Marengo but not sure where it is. My friends and I love to go shop hopping so I have been to alot of stores in Iowa and Missouri and Illinois that can be day trips. Is there a quilt store In Marengo?

Marge L.

The quilt shop that we had closed a while back. Really miss it. The Amanas are next door. South Amana, on hwy 6, is just east about 7-8 mi, has one called Fern's quilts & Antiques. Follow 6 & 151 to Main Amana. They have 2 for sure, maybe another. Williamsburg has 2 (Wooden Needle and Rainbows & Calico Things). Marengo is on Hwy. 6, 25-30 mi. west of Iowa City. If you should get up this way, I'd love to get together for lunch (say at Main Amana), many seem to like the food and there are several restaurants there. There are a few shops at Little Amana on I-80 and 151. Don't know if they have a quilt shop though. I'll PM you with my phone # so you can give me a buzz if you like. I'm not so busy that I can't get away when I want. I'm all alone and do nothing but quilt and spend a LOT of time on this board. LOL I guess I'm not alone there. Marge L.
