I would love to meet you if we can work things out. We have just sold our house near UNCC, so I know that area well. We have moved to a retirement village due to my husband's health. (I insisted on having a cottage here with a sewing room and space for my cloth!)
Yes, Mary Jo's is a must! Concord Mills is a huge shopping mall between Charlotte and Concord; a good Bernina store with lots of fabrics and patterns is near that.
In downtown Charlotte is the main library including Imaginon, the Levine Museum, Discovery Place science museum, and the Blumenthal auditorium.
Okay, I could go on and on, being one of the rare Charlotte natives.

Mooresville is about 15, 20 min north of Charlotte and I LOVE "The Loft" Tons of bolts of fabric and it is really nice fabric. My daughter has a house at Lake Norman and we always go there when I go down. I am leaving on July the 2nd to go but not sure how long I am staying. My X Mother n law is going with me so im not sure when she will want to return.
Also there is a wonderful shop called "Miss Estelles" in Mooresville that you would enjoy. Stuff you would not see just anywhere. I enjoyed Mary Jo's also.

You are close to the mecca of quilting stores. In Gastonia is Mary Jo's about 20 minutes away. OMG take lots of $$$. Good selection and low prices. My advise sleep good the night before, good walking shoes and eat before you walk in. I almost refused to go in as the building unnerved me being rundown. But the fisrt time I went I spent $330 then the next day another 200. Enjoy the Irsh pub in the center of town was great but can't remember the name.
