Hi Ladies, We will be leaving Sunday, heading up to Sault Ste Marie.
We'll be traveling thru Michigan entering from the southeast, heading
north bypassing Detroit and then straight up to Sault Ste Marie. Any
good shops that I should know of? This is a long ride (10 hours) and I
will need some breaks to stretch my legs. Nothing better than a walk
thru a quilt shop! Of course, I'll have to buy also. ;)

The Fabric Fair in Bay City, The Ice House in Grayling are 2 that come to
mind. There's also a branch of Country Stitches in Flint

Hi Gen. The Ice House must be darn good- 3 people have recommended that
store. I checked a map and looks like we will be close to it so I do
want to go there. Thanks for the info!

Hi Pam,
Here are a few that I can think of to recommend. The Ice House in
Grayling is well worth stopping at. I live in the UP, about a 4 1/2
hour drive from Grayling, and my quilting buddies here often talk about
their trips to the Ice House.
Material Mart is located in Midland, MI, where I lived about ten years
ago. I'm more interested in garment sewing than quilting--just recently
got into quilting a little--so I didn't find a lot there that interested
me, but they do have some nice quilting fabrics. Just not much garment
fabrics, and keep in mind this is based on my memories from ten years ago.
I've never been to Haberman's, but it's near the Detroit area, and I've
heard good things about them.
I love Field's Fabrics in Kalamazoo! They have several other stores,
but all are on the western side of the state and probably not convenient
to the route you are taking.
If you are crossing the Soo to the Canadian side, I REALLY LOVE
Fabricland, in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada! I may be a heretic for
recommending a Canadian store, but WOW! My husband left me there while
he and the kids went to the Bushplane Museum, and two hours later I
hadn't chosen what to buy yet because I was still checking out what was
there.
