Hi everyone, I am going to Killeen, Tx to surprise my kids and granddaughter for Christmas. They are in the military. Can anyone tell me where the quilting shops are? Also what is the name of their fabric stores there? This will be my first trip there. DH and I will be driving. We will leave very early in the morning. On the way home if I know where some shops at in the different states we go through I might stop. I am in Georgia. I think we will go through Alabama, Miss, and Lou. Thanks you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a trip to Killeen early this year, my daughter (a 2nd grade school teacher) took me to a WalMart that was really a shopping adventure. There they had masses of sewing stuff and DD finally had to drag me out of that place. I left with several odd shaped templates and sewing gadgets, so many that I had to UPS most of them home!! If you have time, check it out. I'd like to go back there next time I visit.

Can't help you with the shops, but I want to wish you safe traveling. Your family will be so surprised!!

Google "Killeen TX Quilt store" and you should find something.
Good luck and travel safely - have a wonderful Christmas! |
I looked up Killeen and found this for you:
Killeen Sew And Quilt Store. (254) 616-2200 2201 S W S Young Dr Ste 111C Killeen, TX 76543 31.0946 -97.7211 If you are interested in driving a little further SOUTH, making a run to the Austin area, send me a PM and we can run around to my favorite LQS stores in the area. If I won't be around, I can get you directions/maps, etc. |
Don't know the route you are taking but if you are going 35 there is a quilt shop in Waxahachie called Common Threads. They have Civil War, 30's and other fabrics. Nice people. There used to be a shop in Salado and it is right off 35. I think it is called the Sewing Basket. Not sure if its before or after you reach Kileen. There is one in Lewisville, TX north of Dallas on 35 called Quilt Country and they have lots of batiks.
