Sorry, I just saw the name, and that shelter has made me cry many, many times. I have done dog rescue (I am in NY, and bring pups and dogs up from high kill southern shelters) and I hate Gaston.
Peace,

Mary Jo's is located in Gastonia, NC. It's a very well known shop. I've never heard of Gaston.

Going to Mary Jo's soon. Visiting our son in Charlotte NC, pasted the shop on the way in - Oh my heavens, my car wanted to make that right hand turn right now! I am trying to have patience but just want to go now. My DH jokes about the house smelling like thread ! But he likes the quilts I have made so I think I should have a great time. Picking up backing fabrics for a queen size and god only knows what else.

Man - do I envy you and your friends.
First learned of Mary Jo's from Nancy Crow years ago.
For those Board members like me who can't get there, she has a wonderful on-line selection and service.
