I am in Ft Wayne, we have a Joann's and a Hancocks. I am about 10 minutes from both and I have worked at both lol...
There is a cute quilt fabric shop out on East State that I have been too, nice fabrics there. Also there is a fabric store like you are going to Grabil that has some great stuff. Shipshewanna is about an hour away and there are several there, Lolly's being my favorite.
