Of course, if you make it that far, you can continue north to Shipshewana where there is plenty of fabrics! The name of the store in Rome City is Caroline's Cottons.

It's a great shop! When I visited there last year, one of the women working there, about my age, told me she went to my high school's #2 rival in Decatur (40 miles east)in the early 60's. We picked up the "rivalry" where we had left it when we graduated. %>)
