When I traveled through Iowa a couple of years ago, I stopped at the F & P quilt store. I thought the store was very small, I think I expected it to be more. The ladies working there were very nice and when I expressed a desire to make a wallhanging in the shop they printed me a copy of the pattern, no charge, and I bought the fabric needed. But, I no longer subscribe to the magazine for several reasons. As a side note, a package arrived and they were so excited--it was their order from Connecting Threads. :)
