We have relatives in Cedar Rapids. She used to be a staff reporter for the Gazette! Love that town.
I am just finishing a quilt and I bought the fabric at Heritage Quilts in Amana, Iowa (relatives there too).
I don't buy kits. I go to Quilters Cache.com and get patterns from that site, print them up and make quilts from that. Hope that helps you a bit! My mom has made valances for her house from quilt patterns. You could make table cloths - I am just thinking to use up a bit of your stash and give you some much deserved room?????? Mom's valances look like Frank Lloyd Wright designs and are quite beautiful. I have a quilting book, "Quilts in the Tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright by Jackie Robinson. They make gorgeous wall hangings.
Good luck to you. Edie
