Going to Mary Jo's today
 
In SC visiting my MIL who is 30 minutes from MJ's. Can't wait.

Lucky you! I've been there several times. Always a great experience.

Hope you planned plenty of time and have plenty of $$$. Don't forget about the thread outlet , not far from Mary Jo's. Its Long Creek Mills. Very good prices.
Have a great time.. do share with us your purchases..

I was there on Saturday, too. I bought fabrics to finish a few UFOs but it took me 3 hours to take in everything and buy 6 fabrics, because I love MJ's. Long Creek Mills is wonderful, too, and there is also a LQS about a mile from MJ's called Sew Much Fun that's a good stop. If you didn't have a chance to go yesterday, maybe next time you go can check it out. In October, they're moving to their new larger permanent shop just up the road a bit.

You are so fortunate to get to go to Mary Jo's. For 15 years, I lived near Gastonia and was at Mary Jo's about once a week. How I miss my trips there. Mary Jo is a fascinating lady and I so love her shop.

Oh did you go and have a wonderful time? I have been there a couple of times, sure wish I lived many states closer. MIL wants us to visit this fall, stopping at Mary Jos is the best part of the trip.

For those of us who don't know, what is Maryjos?

Its a huge quilt shop with everything you can imagine. I always want to stop on my way to S. Carolina for the winter but Im never there at the right time. Its either too early or too late or Sunday!

It is located about 15 miles south of Charlotte nc in Gastonia it is right off the interstate - students in my class at Joann's were talking about a couple of things they got... I go about once a month.. Always plan for a long trip....

Going to Mary Jo's today!! I live about an hour away but get to MJ's at least once every couple of weeks. I used to work in Gastonia and would plan "mini" trips to MJ's on my lunch hour. (I would have to have a "plan" or it wouldn't work.) Mary Jo herself works there. I am retired now and would love to work there but couldn't afford to pay for the gas back and forth because I would never bring home a paycheck. LOL
