I have been to Grubers when visiting relatives in the St. Cloud area. Will have to try to the Calico when we go visiting sounds like a good way to spend the day. We have a quilt shop in Hibbing that I spend too much at when we go on the shop hop. There is a quilt shop in Hill City that is in a gas station. She has great fabric and priced below what the other shops have. She said it's low over head. In Duluth on 3rd st there is a shop Creations. From the outside it doesn't look like it has much but lots of fabric, very helpful, long arm, and reasonably priced.
