There is a discount fabric store here in NC in the town of walkertown. There is wall to wall fabric at wonderful prices. We are going to meet for lunch at Mi Pueblos in Clemmons and then off to shop for fabric.
Yeah, I wish everyone could go along with us.

If I leave now I just might make it in time!

Since we can't go with you :( Maybe you could take a lot of pictures and post them here for all of us to drool over. :lol: Enjoy your trip! :thumbup:

Wait for me!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

Hope you have a wonderful time!

I am only about 4-5 hours from you.

Want me to pick you up on my way???? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Even if I hurried a packed a nightie, toothbrush and an extra pair of drawers, we'd probably still not get there in time. :-(

I soooo love a road trip to a fabric store. Have a wonderful time and remember us.

Rapture, can you stop and get me .. I know I am on your way :wink: And hey I will help drive :lol:

Have a great shopping trip :mrgreen:

Have a great time!

have fun!

I wish I could go too.

Be sure to bring a camera so we can see!

Don't spend too much!! LOL

Have a Great Time !! :)

Have fun & post what you get. Since we can't go at least we can see your good finds!

Wow, I wish I could spend a lot. On a tight budget. I could not remember the name the of the fabric shop last night. Looked it up this morning. It is called The Fabric Center.
So if anyone lives near or in Winston Salem, you are welcome to join us. Believe or not I am already getting started on my Christmas sewing. I am going to try and not over load myself with projects this year. We'll see!!
Charlene

Okay, this is just silly. She is going to a fabric store to shop for fabric. How can she possibly spend to much? :mrgreen:

Have fun. I wish I was there.

OMG! Really?? You said that?? Ha ha ha ....

(No disrespect intended ...)

can you make purchases from this place online?

No, it is a warehouse type place with bolts and bolts of fabric. It is probably not brand new fabric. But at their prices, just can't resist. I think it is where the other fabric stores send their left over bolts. Not sure where their fabic comes from. I just know they sell it at whole sale prices.
Charlene

wish i could join you happy shopping

What time should I be there??!! :lol:

Sounds delightful! Take your camera and take pictures of the shop :) I know how it is to be on a tight budget, but I am sure you will find some good bargains and come home with a nice collection.. Have fun :)

I haven't been there in years. Has the housekeeping improved.

Have lots of fun. I had sticker shock yesterday. I was recently told that Walmart is raising the prices up to 65 percent on some items. Well, they did a job on the materials, priced about 60 cents more than the beginning of the year. I think my next shopping for material will be at any Goodwill, Salvation Army, consignment shop, yard sales, church sales. Everytime something; craft, food, etc makes a hit with the people, the prices go UP UP UP. Okay enough belly aching. I will still sew sew sew, quilt quilt quilt. Thank for letting be vent.

There is a place like this in Fargo, ND. I was there about a month ago. Had only 3 hours to shop, wish I could have had 3 days. LOL

whaT IS THE NAME OF THIS FABRIC STORE AND WHERE IS IT??/

Which one are you referrng to? the one in NC or ND?

I go to Raleigh quite often to visit my grand children and the evil parents that took them so far away. I may have to pay Walkertown a visit on my next trip.....

What is the name of the store and do they have a website?

the one in NC

Sounds like fun! Have a great time!

Well I am off to my lunch and shopping.
Charlene

I'm not far from there. Looking forward to your pictures and hearing about the prices ... though I am trying to abide by my self-imposed ban on fabric buying. It's not working all that well.

Okay can you give me an address for the store please. I live in Asheville but come to Clemmons and Winston Salem area atleast twice a year for the stamp and scrapbook stores so now hubby will be thrilled if I add a fabric store to these trips too. LOL! I'm excited because I'm planning a trip to Clemmons on Oct 2nd so hopefully I'll have time then.
Thanks

Okay everyone I am back. I enjoyed my day out with friends. The lunch was great. The fabric store on the other hand has changed since I was there last. Their stock is way down and the prices had went up. I was able to get a few things though. We left there and went to JoAnn's on stratford road. I was able to find a backing fabric for my scrapy throw I am making for my couch. I have post pics of some the fabric I did buy. However two of the pieces I had already thrown in the washer before I remembered I need to take pics. The Christmas prints are for the quilted Christmas ball that I am going to make for tree this year. Buying the supplies for these in stages. I highly doubt if I go back to the fabric warehouse in walkertown. I was very disappointed.

Sure do love a road trip to the quilt stores. Seems like it's about time for another one.
Last time 3 of us left at 8 am and hit 7 quilt stores in Illinois (we live in Indiana) and one yard sale and I pulled into my drive at 10:45 that night. Talk about sensory overload. But it sure was fun.
Have lots of fun today with your road trip.
