    Yes, Van Cootens is about 20 mins away in Howard. It's a one of a kind store and very well known around here. They open up the old bakery across the road on Saturdays and sell some of their cheaper fabrics in there, I've made entire quilts from their collections. How do you know it ?

    Van Cootens is legendary. Every quilter in Rocky has heard of it, and every quilter in Rocky wants to go, me included.

    I plan a trip at some point.

    Van Cootens sounds wonderful. I would LOVE to join you there, However, My checkbook doesn't allow it. Welcome from the State of Louisiana. This board is such fun. Show us some of your quilts!

    Thank you all for your welcome. Australia is a pretty amazing place to be, but quilting is not as popular as in the states. So its harder to find things locally etc, but I have mastered the web and nothing is out of my reach :lol: Here are a few of the quilts I've done, mind you some of these are still just the tops. Thanks for looking.

    This was the first quilt I made - madness

    This pattern is called Past Times - loved making it

    This king size quilt was made for my wonderful mothers 60th
