Do visit the shops in Franklin NC. There is A Stitch in Time with glorious lines of fabrics, batiks, brights and some wool and other types of fabrics. Another shop called Sassy Stitches, recently changed names from Deb's Cats & Quilts carries a lot of Civil War fabrics, batiks and they are getting more brights. You cannot miss them. There is also a craft fabric store Sew Creative that has some fabrics. Both quilts shops will burn your credit card up!
