Thanks for bringing it again to my attention. Maybe this year my sister from Calif will be willing to wear out her legs and go with me. She is 76 and likes to remind me she is ten years older than me. Great seamstress and quilter. We have a van so we will have plenty of room for fabric :twisted: :D Yep, the devil might make us max out our charge cards. :roll:

Go on line and take the virtual tour and you won't be quite so over whelmed when you get there.
You will have to post pictures of all your pretty finds when you get back! :D

There's no way, hubby would...well, he can't now, (disabled), but I wouldn't want him with me in a fabric store...I'd get next to nothing. Either his moans, or bc I can't think with his sighing etc.
My puzzle is, why don't they have carts?

I don't know why, but that is a good question. I need to find out. When you go, the place is always busy, but so large it never seems crowded. They may have exceptions, motorized carts and so forth, but I just don't know. I'll try and find out!
Hay QC, see how well I follow directions! I learned how to do the quote thing thanks to you!

I have e-mailed Mary Jo about accommodating those who need the support of carts or chairs and will post her answer when I get It! :D
I'm sure they make some kind of arrangements, I just don't know what they are.

Got an answer from my e-mail and here is what it said: No shopping carts because of room, but they do have carts that they use for stocking, and if someone needed one to lean on etc: they would be glad to provide it. Also if group is coming, you can call ahead and they will be glad to help in any way they can.You can call ahead and the # is !-800-629-9100
This is not a fancy quilt shop with all the trimmings. This is a place to buy the same material at much better prices. The quilt shops that I have been to, have 20 or 30 blues to choose from. Mary Jo's has hundreds to choose from, just an example. That is one of the reasons it takes so much longer on line to shop there. When I go I am in the Zone, there to buy as much material as I can with the money I have! It's serious business for me folks! :lol: :lol: :lol:
So hope this has answered some of your questions. Oh and by the way, I do not work for Mary Jo's. Just sharing the love of Quilting! :D
