Matilda - the shop is in the Davis Office Center (we are around doctors, dentists, etc..) If you are coming down Grand River from I96 - we are the second driveway past Taco Bell.

Hi, I live north of Fowlerville

There is a really cute little shop at the second Howell exit off I-96 (if heading west toward Lansing from Detroit) called Wendy's Quilts and another shop in Brighton on Grand River called Monarch Quilts. Wendy's is in an old house and is so charming. Monarch is more modern and has some wonderful things. Thought I'd pass them along to the MI group. Glad you had such a great time in Clare.

Sounds like a lot of fun. This is a great group of ladies here on the forum. When next month will you be meeting? I have never been to the store Carol works at. I didn't know it was there. There are three other shops close by: Monarc Quilts between Brighton and Howell; The Stitchery and the Wendy's Simple Stitches both in Howell. All very nice shops. There is also a nice resturant between Brighton and Howell (but a little closer to Brighton called Grand River Cafe I think it is called. It is pretty good.

Craftybear is planning a get together Oct 19th. I am planning to go. Will you be going?

Would love to have you join us. It is open to all board members, the more the merrier. Today we went to 2 shops in Clare and one in Mt. Pleasant. Next month go to Brighton, Howell and any place else close that has a shop. Can you recommend any? By 4:00 we were all headed home. We're thinking the following month of going to Bay City. By moving around the state we can get more board members together. It's so much fun to meet.

Craftybear is planning another meet in Shipshewanna, I think Oct. 19. It would be fun to get a bunch together to car pool. I'm in Ann Arbor.

Have you picked a date for the Brighton meeting?

sewcrazy65 09-16-2010 05:03 AM

I will have to check Wendy's out.Didnt know there was other shops besides Stitchery

Wendy has a whole room of Civil War repo's. I have a very hard time when I go there. She has really beautiful fabric and lines that I don't see at other places. Country Stitches also has stores in E. Lansing and Jackson. We only have one store close to me and of course, JoAnns.
Is it OK for anyone to join the group on the 19th and was this the Shipshawanna group or the MI group? I'd like to go if I can.

Yes I really like her store. They are nice in there too.

redvette54 09-16-2010 03:33 PM

Some of us going to Shipsawana are from MI and we are going to carpool, we'll be meeting in Ann Arbor. We haven't any set plans yet. Please feel free to join us.

Another nice LQS is Ann Arbor Sewing Center on the west side of Ann Arbor. Less than a mile off I-94 and Zeeb Rd.
