I have a tip for both of you! I am familiar with the area and know of a wonderful fabric and quilt shop located close to Nappanee. This shop has lots of quality cottons and great prices! It is well worth checking out. Store hours are 8:30 to 5:30 Mon.-Sat. It is approx. 7-8 miles NE of the city of Nappanee. There is no on-line site as far as I know.

This is a beautiful area of IN. Take a drive through the country in Elkart Co. and see gorgeous well kept farms and country life as lots of children and horse and buggies and road side vegetable and fruit stands are there. The drought has taken a toll on the green side of things, I'm sure. Enjoy!!
