I'm about 30 minutes east of Cleveland, Oh
Oooops...you said Indiana. Sorry!

Monroe,....2-1/2 hours northeast of Indy

Rosedale, Parke County. No quilt shops in the area.

I'm in Illinois but only about 1 1/2 miles from the Indiana line---does that count?.....Please? No quilt shops near me but I've found a couple in Indy (my daughter lives there!).

sure, anyone can always join us, Everyone is welcome!

Westport. About 1/2 way between Indy. and Louisville. There is Tree City Stitches in Greensburg (16 mi. away) and The Quilt Box in North Vernon (13 mi. away) Joann's and Hobbby Lobby in Columbus.(18 mi. away)

Near Columbus- Lived in Westport for years S D G!!

There was a shop in Seymour that recently closed, but they plan to sell fabrics online.

In Indianapolis, northeast side.

Just moved back from Nevada. Wasn't a quilter the first time I lived here. Still checking out the quilt shops.

Quilts Plus on 86th
Quilt Quarters on Michigan
Back Door in Greenwood
Avon Quiltery west of Indy
Arbuckles Railroad Place in Noblesville
Fussy Cut, but I don't remember how to get back there --- where's my map!
several JoAnn's
a couple of Hancock's
several Hobby Lobby stores

25 minutes north of Indianapolis. Always in stitches.

I am in Ft Wayne, we have a Joann's and a Hancocks. I am about 10 minutes from both and I have worked at both lol...

There is a cute quilt fabric shop out on East State that I have been too, nice fabrics there. Also there is a fabric store like you are going to Grabil that has some great stuff. Shipshewanna is about an hour away and there are several there, Lolly's being my favorite.

I am also in Ft Wayne. We have Edwards Sewing Center which sells fabric and Janomes. My favorite quilt shop is Fabric and Friends in Roanoke which is only about 25 mins from Ft Wayne.

Is that shop still open on East State?

about a hour from indianpoils ind longansport ind.

About 25 miles west of Indianapolis. I shop all the ones in Indy and also Lori's in Paris, Illinois.

Lolly's is the best quilt shop I have ever been to. have you been to the fat quarter room and the sale room in the basement?

Love the sale room in the basement!!!!

You are close to me. I'm actually about 17 miles north of Logansport but we are in town at least 3 days a week. Unfortunately no quilt shops in Logan (although walmart has fabric again) but Winamac has a small shop called Just Plain Annie's.

I live in a very small town in southern Indiana. My closest stores are L and L Yard Goods and Margies Country Store in Madison. I shop mostly at Hancocks in Clarksville. There is a Joannes too. Anybody close to me?

I'm about 1 hour south east of Indianapolis in Greensburg.

Hi Everyone,

Come on Quilters that lives in Indiana, USA, lets chit chat

Downtown Indianapolis. All the Indy stores are about the same distance from me so they are all "mine" :-)

Back Door in Greenwood is a favorite. I am doing 3 quilts out of their fantastic First Saturday bom. Quilts Plus also has a second Saturday Bom and I have done 8 of the first block (overachiever). Each store has such different fabric and supplies.

I live about 25 miles south of Terre Haute - which has not quilt shops but does have JoAnns and Hobby Lobby. About 15 miles away, in Linton, is Busy Bees. Rilleda's shop is a well hidden treasure. It is in the attached garage of her unassuming ranch home back a lane. It is much bigger than one would think from the outside. Tons of fabric, patterns and friendly support.

I also go to Washington to the Stitching Post. On the way I generally stop at the Amish lady's shop near Montgomery, Wagler Quilts.

A couple of times a year I go up to Paris to Lori's Pins and Needles. When I am in Indy at the dr I generally stop somewhere up there. I think the Backdoor in Greenwood is my favorite.

I will be in New Castle, IN on the 23rd for a few days.

I live in NY but visit my family in the Richmond IN area a couple times a year. Always visit Stitching Nook
www.stitchingnook.com/ They are just W. of I-70 on National Rd. E. (in the same plaza as Hobby Lobby)

1500 miles west in southern Utah. HAHA.....trying to be funny.

LOL, I was wondering when I read the first line!

I've made some quick stops at shops along US 50. A bit too far north of me for shopping, unless there's something else going on in the area.

SW Indiana, a stone's throw north of the Ohio river and a big cannon shot east of the Wabash river.

We've got a couple LQSs but I can't afford the prices so I don't visit much.
Personally, I don't consider JoAnn's, HobbyLobby and Hancock's as LQSes

Columbus, Joanns;Hobby lobby. NO fabric at Walmart. Buy mostly online

Yes! Lolly's is THE best! Only one I've ever been to that beats "The Quilt Patch" in Tecumseh, MI.

Here's a link to a backroads shop hop in Indiana - you have to scroll down the page a bit. I went to most of these shops about a year ago, some rather small, but all very nice.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks again for replying to this thread. I am hoping to meet more members from the Quilting Board as I set up different meet and greets in Indiana.

You never know who lives close by or within driving distance for a meet a greet, shopping and to have lunch together.

You might find a quilting sew buddy in your area.

Karen, Craftybear

All of you that are near the Illinois border should plan a retreat at Threads of Time. It's only a few miles into Illinois and you won't even need a passport! :D All you need to bring is projects, your sewing supplies and machine, plus your clothes and food. Check it out and tell them Alfreda sent you.
http://www.threadsoftimefab.com click on retreat center to see the accomodations and make reservations. Great place to retreat.

the Illinois border is over 300 miles long and Danville is a ways up----------no matter how close to Indiana. But thanks anyway.

I live in Elkhart County, northern IN. I am a half hour from Shipshewana and the shops already mentioned there. There is a great shop here in this county called Calico Point- I recommend it to you all. LOTS of high quality fabric and better prices than you will find at any LQShops. It is in the little town of Southwest. Then there is a nice shop in Wakarusa, Jeanette's Fabrics. I am 45 minutes from Erica's in South Bend and a couple others I can't remember the names of. I can't complain, really! I forgot- there is a lovely shop called Caroline's Cottons in Lagrange Co. south of Shipshewana that has gorgeous Civil War prints and lots of other fabrics, too.

I live in Peru, Indiana. about an hour and a half south of Indy. 15 min. away from logansport and 20 from Wabash. My current fav. lqs is Nancy J's in Wabash. Otherwise there only seems to be wal-mart, joanns, or hobby lobby. I love Lolly's to but it's a bit far to drive lol

25 Miles west of Indianapolis. My stores are the same as Kayahr. Also Avon Quiltery.

Valparaiso is my town. Needle and Thread is our LQS. I love going to Erica's in South Bend and whenever I get a chance I head to Shipshewana.

I really like the Needle and Thread store in Valparaiso! They are the nicest people who work there, I've been there on a shop hop and they also serve great snacks!!

Jeffersonvile,here. Two LQS close, one in Edwardsville and one in Corydon. Two in Louisville. Crafttown in Salem recently closed but is selling on line now.
Don't forget Quilter's Day Out in Clarksville on the 24th.
