Brainerd, MN not too far from there also has some lovely quilt shops. I love Grubers, but like everybody else spend way too much there when I go. I go the the LQS in Lonsdale, MN, and spend more than I should every time I walk into the store. They have an entire wall of nothing but batiks. And the staff there, at Quilting by the Hearth, are nothing short of stupendous in helping.
