Thanks Jeanne, what a nice site.

I'm from extreme SE IA. Lee county... Ft Madison to be exact.
Sometimes I visit Kalona for the quilt shops. This summer we went to Iowa City for a girls day at the mall. Otherwise, usually we drive across the state on hwy 2 - from my mom's in Nebraska to my inlaws in Ft Madison. Not much in the way of places to visit along hwy 2. I guess the amish settlement along there might be good. I never have stopped there. What is the name of that town..? Oh, I forget. Where are you at? I assume much closer to Des Moines if you are only a few counties away from the barns. I'd love to know of other quilty places to visit if I were to take a day out to look at the barns.

Gee, Carol....I'm in Iowa City! Coralville (where the mall is ) to be
exact. How far would Winterset and Fons and Porter's store be from Hwy 2? Not far I bet. There is a GREAT quilt shop in Grinnell, which I think may be IN Grundy County...or very close to it. I grew up just up the river from you....Burlington. Let me know when you take the trip again...we could certainly hook you up with a very quilty itinerary!

There's a Pine Needles shop in Cedar Rapids. I haven't been to the Cedar
Rapids store, but I have been to their store in Cresco. The Cresco store is very nice. I don't think Cedar Rapids would be much out of your way if you're going from Iowa City to Grundy County. http://www.pineneedles.net/index.html Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

I'll definately let you know when I'll be up there again. We may make
three trips this year. Possibly twice this summer since I want to come for my high school reunion, and my cousin gets married in October. I could use some R&R on our family trek, and a quilty retreat would be great. I think Winterset / Madison County is close to 80 west of Des Moines, but I'm not exactly sure. I'm surprised to find out you grew up in Burlington. That's too funny. I grew up in West Point, and went to school in FM. I remember fondly when they built the mall in W Burlington. It was so exciting to go to the mall and eat at the food court. Small town girl experiences the big time ( a mall with 2 anchor stores and two hallways). I remember cruising Crapo, Steamboat days, concerts at memorial auditorium, going to the Palace theater to watch the midnight showing of The rocky horror picture show....... Wow, I'm really showing my age.......... |
