I found Germany to be that way no matter where I was, but the fabric shoppe was especially "homey."
I just talked to the Sailor that did the driving when I was out there and he said, "Oh please, it wasn't the only shop in Friedrichshafen - just the only one I took you to." So my bad - the liklihood of it being the same shop is slim. He doesn't remember the name either, (I remember the "Tante Ema" was on everything I bought, so I thought that was the name of the shop! I would ask to go to Aunt Emma's and that's where he took me) but says it had patch or patchwork in it, and if you take Eckenerstrasse to Honistrasse, it's on the left... No, I made him spell those for me :roll:
Even if it's not the same place (how cool would that be?) it was such an awesome place to be.
