I'm going on vacation in november, first a day or two in dallas and then fllying out for a week. will be able to leave my car (and any accumulated goodies) in dallas since i'm return there.

does anybody have a favorite quilt shop or even a great fabric store in the dallas/fortworth area?

If you're coming down 75 or 121 from OK into Dallas, you're going to pass through McKinney...there are two nice shops there...one is in "old" historic downtown McKinney and is called Happiness is Quilting. The other one is on the side of 75 and is called the Quilt Asylum. Both are really nice and don't carry too much of the same type of items.

If you are looking for material. Down town on harry Hines are a lot of wholesale fabric stores.

There is a quilt store called quilters connection in Plano
at 9658 plano rd. There is Suzt's Quilt Shop 111 N. 6th st in Garland Texas Garland and PLano are suburbs of Dallas

I'm headed down that way as well. Finally get to meet my great-nephew born in August. Any good shops coming in from Arkansas? We're headed to the I-35/I-820 area of DFW. THanks!

well there's one in Granbury s/w of Ft.Worth!

a little south of Dallas in Waxahachie is Common Threads- definitely worth the drive!
315 S Rogers St # A
Waxahachie, TX 75165-0603

Don't miss Quilt Country in Lewisville right on I-35 N out of Dallas/Carrollton. Please tell Sandy I sent you!

Also Old Craft Store in old town Carrollton, just off I-35 N as well.

There is a quilt shop in Keller, Texas, Old Town Quilts just north of Fort Worth.
She sells high quality quilt fabric for $4.99 per yard the year around..I was doing a BOM and purchased some of my fabric from the quilt shop doing the BOM paid $9.50 per yd., then found the same fabric at Old Town Quilts for $4.99.

Tell them Diana sent you....they know me by sight. Ha!

thanks, i'm going to write all this done and have as much fun on my way to nicaragua (via dallas) as i'll have there!
