Yes they are Becky--Prairie Points is in Shawnee--which is south of I-70 in the Shawnee Mission Area. If you get off I-70 onto I-435 heading south, then at the Shawnee Mission Parkway/87th St. exit, head back to the east about 2-3 miles, they are in a strip shopping center on the NW corner of Neiman Rd and Shawnee Mission Parkway.(check a map cause you may want to get there via I-635 depending on traffic, timing, etc) If you then head straight west on Shawnee Mission Parkway it turns into K-10 (old highway) or you can go little further south when you hit I-435 to K-10 and then head west to Lawrence, KS--on the way there (about 20 miles from the intersection at most) is exit for Eudora--head north and you'll see Bits & Pieces on the east side of the main street. They specialize in embroidery & twilling on quilts. Then back to K-10 and on to Lawrence--on Mass. Street (main commercial street) is Sarah's Fabrics on the west and directly across the street is another gift/fabric shop, too.
Lil Red Hen in Paola is further south and probably further out of your way than you want to go.
Also, Meadows Quilting in Leavenworth is a possibility--it's in the downtown area and frankly I've never been the driver when we've gone there! Have fun!
