If you have a smart phone you can download the app "Point". Then under the business section of Point type in quilt shop. We did this last year on our road trip to Montana. It was wonderful. Point shows you the closest shop and the directions to get there. I found some absolutely wonderful shops.

In search of. I had to ask just recently myself.

Lisle, IL

Was there a few years ago & it was a very nice shop. I would go back if I ever got the chance.

Pieceful Hearts in Lisle is still there. And I agree, a very nice shop!

If you are getting close to St. Cloud , Minnesota you have to stop at Gruber's. They have thousands of bolts of beautiful fabric, it will take hours to go through there.It's on 3rd Street No.

there are a couple i like to shop at , one is in Morton Ill, south of Peoria the name is The Quilt Corner, 2037 Main Stret, it is in a small strip mall

the other one is just outside Springfield (tothe east a few miles) it is in Rochester(very small town) it is call Piece and Applique shop, they are both locally owned shops
and they both have websites on the internet

if you can only go to one i woud go to the one in Morton it is just off the highway from Peoria to Springfield

Not sure if you have been to Quilt fabric.com it is a brick and morter store with more batiks than I have seen in any other store in IL ( but may not have gotten to all of them). They are just off RT 55 go north on rt 83 they are in Willowbrook. If you hit the Bakers Square you missed the intersection.
Happy shopping !

There is one in Mahomet Needle and I...Rantoul Kathys Quilts...One in Urbana Sew Sassy ..and One in Danville Threads of Time They are all Great shops,,
