Trip to Mary Jo's In Gastonia NC
#33
They come from other states and other countries! I have met people from France, Japan, China, and Australia while shopping there. I don't know if it is their end destination or simply a side trip with a larger purpose. Often see them there in conjunction with the time frame of the Paducah quilt show which is a few states away.

Mary Jo's is a very large fabric store in Gastonia NC. She has hundreds of fabric for quilting,weddings,upholstering, you name it they have it. It also has accessories, buttons, zippers,lace etc. Her prices are excellant. Her selection is huge. Want birds, well they might be broken down into small birds, large birds, birds from the north, west ,south etc. you get the idea. You have died and gone to heaven at this place. You need at least a full day to shop its awesome.

My SO doesn't know it but we have a trip planned the end of the month and we are stopping by MJ's. I don't know what in the world I am going to do with him during that time though. Usually he likes to stick to me like glue but gets really annoying in the craft store. I feel like I am being rushed. Luckily I live about 3 hours away. I guess I should plan an overnite trip there sometime with my sis.

MaryJo's is a must visit for me whenever I visit my son & family in NC. And it's only about 30 minutes away. Have never yet made it to the thread place. Please fill us in about that stop. Have a great, great time.

I got to go there in July. It was so much fun. I had my husband with me and he helped pick out fabric. I plan another trip soon. ENJOY your visit and think of us who can't be there.
