Hi Margaret, from CNY member. There is a neat store in Potsdam called Misty Hollow. It is a craft store that carries some fabric and sewing notions. If you knit, they have some nice yarns. Anyways, it is a rather unique store that has just about every craft imaginable and the folks who own & run it are delightful. I found it to be a refreshing change from the chain stores ... has the "Mom & Pop" feel to it. But if you take a road trip south on Rt 81, Mission Rose is easy to find on Rt 11 in No Syracuse has a huge selection of quilt fabric and it is well worth the trip. Calico Gals is also in town, but their selection is small compared to Mission Rose.
