Not sure how many bolts, but Fabric Depot in Portland, OR is "an acre and a half of fabric"!

Thank you AgapeStitches,

Mary Jo's is huge but it also carries other fabric. They have quilting (great selection), bridal, upholstery, and apparel fabric. It's like a candy store for people who sew.

Yes...went there, saw it, and I was totally amazed!!! HUGE quilting cottons section with thousands of bolts of everything you can imagine. I got to go when I flew into Charlotte NC to visit my daughter. It is really a wonderful store. They don't have nearly as much on their website as they do in the store.

Any idea what the name of this store is?
*Sounds like road trip fodder to me*

Ditto! Clothing, stuffed animals, home/car accessories, totes for boats/cars/animals/people. I just love the challenge of finding fun, new fabrics and seeing what I can make from them. Whenk I quit smoking 25+ years ago I took up sewing - this new habit is still cheaper then a pack of smokes in my opinion.
