Hmmmm.... to go or not to go? I checked... it's 110 miles and I never go to Winston Salem. However, I can easily justify a 50 mile trip to Ben Franklin in Kannapolis, which is almost half way to Walkerstown. I'd have to come up with a really good justification, but I'm sure ya'all could help me with that, right?

I want to go too......I am at all sure where in NC this town is? is it close to Raleigh? Charlotte? I am in Asheville............

hey- we are both in ASHEVILLE ? do we know each other? please email me....maybe we can meet, if we havent already ! I LOVE this board!!

Looks like you did some nice fabrics. :)

well if i can get erstan to stop by my house on the way we will both be there!!!

im ready

please tell me where Walkertown is.

We have family in Winston Salem.

Have a wonderful time. Fabric shopping is so much fun.

Oh that sounds like fun. I hope you have a great time and find losts of stuff at a great price and that you don't go overboard.

Have fun! :lol:

um, 4dogs, I am not in asheville. I am in winston salem. You would not have enjoyed the trip today. The fabric center was a big disappointment. It has gone down hill. I will probably not go back.

I think I will have to mapquest that town. If it was near where I was on Sat, I just may have to stop in the nest time I am down that a way.

Did not read all the blogs on the site before replying. I guess I am glad I stopped in Mary Jos of Gastonia, NC on Sat.

Actually it was me that is in Asheville NC too and I sent a private message to 4dogs.

I'm going to NC in October for sisters' week with my quilting sister and we're always looking for new shops. Address please?

raptureready, forget the toothbrush and such, can buy them there, and who needs drawers when there is fabric to be bought? lol

If you really want to visit the center just google "The Fabric Center in Walkertown, NC". They are only open Thursday thru Saturday.

Me too! ever been to Mary Jo's in Gastonia? Fantastic store

Have fun, and God bless.

What is name of store in case I ever get near there?

The Fabric Center

I have been to Gastonia, to Mary Jo's too...........WOW is what I can say about it.........you will spend ALL of your lunch money there, if you can stay for a hour or two....it is easy to see and get to, right off the Interstate!

I can't wait to visit Mary Jo's. I am going to start saving my money now.

Where is it and what is it called? Have you been to Mary Jo's? There is a place in Floyd, VA that is an old school house that is wall to wall and three floors full. Great place. Hope you found some nice things.

It is called the fabric center in walkertown, nc.
What is the name of the place in Floyd Va?

You know I really don't know the name of it but its an old school house right on main street. Can't miss it. Very small town. Its a nice ride up the Blue Ridge Parkway as well if you go that way. I will google it and see if I come up with a name and let you know. Its a wonderful place to get lost in.
