OMG YES! M&L fabrics is a must!! Wear comfortable cloths and be prepared to dig Here are a few pictures that I took because no one would believe me about this place.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]298860[/ATTACH]Here is just one of the rows of stacks of flat fold cottons, I believe there are at least 6 just like this!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]298862[/ATTACH]This is a shot from over the top of the stacks and I was holding the camera above my heae, I am 5.4 so that should tell you how tall the stacks are.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]298863[/ATTACH]This is from the main floor. These are the fabrics on bolts, complete collections and more expensive than the flat folds, but still half of what you can find in any quilt shop

What I didn't show you was another room in the back that has even more fabrics, not cottons.
When I go, I spend more than 3 hours in the stacks and last time, over $500! But I have more fabric than I know what to do with and I want to go back!!!
There are girls there who's job it is to keep the stacks straight, that is all they do. When I go it is during Road to CA in January, they get loads of women who show up just for the stacks. They don't want you pulling the fabrics out, but if you lift the stacks to what you want and then replace them, they don't get to mad at you. Don't try to pull anything that is more than about 8 inches down because not only is the fabric on top to heavy, but they have it wedged in there so tight that it wont move. It takes two to get some pieces out, one to lift and one to pull, its quite funny to watch sometimes! LOL
Enjoy your visit and take an ice chest and some munches for your DH as he will have a long wait in the car for you LOL
