The fabric is set up in about 4 very large rooms and a few smaller rooms by collections. I found two fat quarters I really liked and was looking for coordinating fabric. One of the women in the shop came to my aid right away. We pulled out this fabric and that, but we couldn't find enough colors that -->I<---was satisfied with. I mentioned "If I only had a pattern it would help." So off she went to get a pattern for me. She brought one back and I said it was close but not quite what I was looking for and then I found one on the wall that suited my fancy. She said, "Well, then let's go in that direction." And we started anew. I ended up finding just what I needed using batiks instead. I also found backing for a quilt under construction.

My point is that she stayed with me the entire time, except to help her co-worker for a minute or two, while I looked at fabric. I was embarrassed I took up so much of her time. She simply said, "That's what we're here for."

So, If you are near I-69 near the Michigan/Indiana border, I definitely recommend stopping in!

By the way.....I was there for about 2 hours! They have customer loyalty cards too.
We stopped there a few years ago on our way home from a quit show weekend and i think it was the owner and she was extremely helpful l and friendly. Wish the shop was closer as she had be a utiful large sunny class rooms that had huge windows. She mentioned that some ladies come to just sit and stitch for a day.
