Love Shipsy. I was there for the Pajama Sale the first weekend of February. Great fun. You must be in pajamas to get your fabric on sale, so all these women arrive in pj's and some in hair curlers.

Be sure to check out Lolly's basement shop. They have a boat down there filled to the brim with fat quarters. I LOVE going through there. I only get to Shipshewana once or twice a year, but never leave Lolly's with less than 100 fat quarters from the boat. All the fabric in the basement shop is discounted too. I'm thinking it's discontinued fabric.

I also love Yoder's Department store in Shipshewana. They have a very nice selection of fabric and patterns.

Have fun! I'm going the end of May for a wedding and can't wait to shop. My cousin lives in Goshen.

Did you make it over to Yoders too? I seem to buy more fabric there then Lollys.
During the summer I go on a day trip on a bus from the area and do the Flea Mrkt too if I have time! He goes 3 times during the summer time!

I'm going to the quilt festival in June! I'm going on a bus with my guild of about 50 other fabric crazy women. Can't wait, counting days already. Thanks for the shopping tips.

Next time you visit Shipshewana area take a group of quilters with you. There is a great quilt retreat facility at Bright Morning Star Bread and Breakfast. Check the web site. Then you can quilt and shop until you drop.
