I am trying to find quilt shops in Valparaiso, and whenever I do a search on the web, only brings one shop up!
We are going to wedding in June, does anyone have any suggestions, or a website to go to find more?

Thanks for your help!!

Not sure about Valpo , but you will be close to Shipshewanna IN and if you get a chance to go to Lollys and Yoders . Also Ericas in South Bend :lol: Will you be here more than one day ? The stores in Shipshewanna are not open on Sundays , but Ericas is

We will just be there for one day, so was hoping to find somewhere on the way or right there...
I will google your suggestions!!

Thank you for your help! :D

I think someone else on the board lives near Valpo hopefully they will be able to give you more help . Depending on what way you drive you might be able to squeeze Ericas in .

Just did a mapquest, and Shipshewana is past Valp by over hour, so don't think we can do! :cry:
But thanks to you, I did find that they are having Quilt Festival in June!!
Think I might have to try that one!! I saw Yoder's...10,000 THOUSAND BOLTS???!!!! :lol: Think I will be in Heaven!

Thanks again!! :-P

We have just one shop in Valparaiso, IN called Needle & Thread. It's a great shop and the owner, Marlene is fantastic! You might catch her at some of the quilt shows in NW Indiana as a vendor.

They used to have a Hancocks but now Valpo residents use Michigan City or Merrillville JoAnns or Hobby Lobby across from the Merrillville mall (Westfield) when they're looking for the bigger stores...or shopping online.

Thanks so much for the info ladies. My bf surprised me the other day and made a two night reservation for the quilt fest in Shipshewana! I am so excited! And we are staying at a B&B on top of it!!!!
I will have to check out all of the shops that you mentioned!!!
