What a great way to spend a day.... Wish I lived closer.. oh well...dream on......

I've been there one time! The first day my friends and I went, we didn't spend a dime! We were awestruck! However, we made the "mistake" of going back the next day...well, it was a good thing we were in a van!
One word of advice, if you see something you like, buy as much as you can. I got home and decided I'd like a few more yards of a batik and they had already sold it all!
I am so envious! Hope you have a safe and blessed trip.

Love the place! I'll get to go again in a couple weeks when I am in the Carolinas'. Back by the restrooms, there is a table of misc. deals on fabrics...also there are FQ tables in that area for $1. You may have to ask where it is because you can't see it from the bolt area. Have fun!

be prepared... they don't have buggies, you have to get a paper slip when you walk in at the customer service counter. You grab a few bolts, go get them cut and put the cuts in a hand held basket. Once the basket gets full - check out, take it to the car - go for lunch and then come back :)
it is an amazing place!

Wear your tennis shoes and bring a list of what you really need.. because you will get blown away and forget what you originally came for!! I used to live in Huntsville Al and I would load up 4 of my girlfriends and we would drive 8 hours to go to Mary Jos... and stay overnite ... loved every minute..bought enough for 4 quilts at one time and my other girlfriend got her daughter's wedding dress fabric and lace there..we had a blast!
Enjoy! (I am so jealous!)
