Just found this thread.

I live in Sioux City Iowa. Have lived in Iowa all my life (Fort Dodge, Rolfe, Des Moines, Denison, Hospers, Spirit Lake and now Sioux City).

Marge L.

The quilt shop that I spoke of in Marengo has reopened after 2-3 yrs. She had to start small again, but her fabric is beautiful. She is only asking $5 yd. I can't believe it and it is so nice. When I go downtown my car doesn't need steering. I automatically stops right in front. What can a girl do in a situation like that? Of course---you just buy some more material. LOL I really do need to put a damper on that--but can't really think of a good reason.
My folks lived in Ft. Dodge for many years. A cousin lives in Storm Lake and had an aunt in Lake View (now deceased). Also, camped at Lake Okoboji a few years ago. Hope to see you whenever. Marge L.

I don't post much anymore but couldn't pass this up. I have been in Iowa all but 2 1/2 years of my life. Living mostly in south central Iowa but some in southwest Iowa. I noticed that alot of you are talking about the quilt shops. I would love to put a map together for all of us. If you would like, PM me the name and address of your fav shops and I will put a map together. I have started one with some that I know of or shop at. Feel free to share with friends!

Wow, this thread has brought back memories, reading all the names of places I remember! I was born in Marengo and still think of it as my early home as my dad was raised there, my grandmother, aunts and uncles and cousins lived there..... I love that little town. I now live in England, however, and haven't been back to Iowa for many years. My English husband wants to see it some day so we talk about it quite a lot. Sorry to barge into this thread....just got over-excited when I saw Marge L. from Marengo. I bet, Marge, that you know some of my family!

Just run across this thread today. I am originally from the very small town of Petersburg, Iowa which is close to Dyersville the home of Field of Dreams. I now live in central IL but still return as family still lives there. Dyersville and a close town of Manchester both have very nice quilt stores that I shop in when I go back.

I just joined the board from Osceola. I grew up here but have lived in Des Moines, Ames, Waterloo and Ft Dodge but I'm back where I started. My favorite shops are Creston, Creekside in Des Moines and Quilter's Cupboard in Ankeny.
But I'm not choosey if they have fabric I'll stop and shop.
