We have just one shop in Valparaiso, IN called Needle & Thread. It's a great shop and the owner, Marlene is fantastic! You might catch her at some of the quilt shows in NW Indiana as a vendor.
They used to have a Hancocks but now Valpo residents use Michigan City or Merrillville JoAnns or Hobby Lobby across from the Merrillville mall (Westfield) when they're looking for the bigger stores...or shopping online.
