Well from a Michigan gal.... welcome to my little corner of the country. Shippsi is a dream and has so many shops close by. Five or six at least. There is a dear little shop in Middlebury that I stopped at a few weeks ago. Right in the center of town. It appears to be much like an Amish general store or clothier. The prices are good for fabric and the help was patient and sweet as I made choices. They are not participating in the Row by Row but it is only about 10 minutes from Shippsi.

Michigan my Michigan has so many shops and so may Row by Row participants. Have fun and welcome back.

You'll love it down there. Be sure to stop at Lollys (sp?) where you'll find two floors of amazing fabric choices. The downstairs is all on sale or clearance. The upstairs has just about anything you could be looking for. There's also Yoders which is a soup to nuts type of store, including a lot of fabric at good prices. I've heard the bulk food store is awesome, especially if you're one who uses a lot of spices, seeds etc.

Wishing you a safe and wonderful trip. You should have a great time with your friend, two kindred quilting spirits.

Sounds fun..Enjoy your trip..
