My husband grew up in La Porte, so we come back frequently to see his family. Somehow, he never…read morementioned that there's a legit cross stitch shoppe less than a mile from his home. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I stopped by today to see what they had, and - yep - totally legit. On one side of the shop, they have fibers, floss, beads, etc. The other side has piles and piles of fabric, neatly arranged. In the middle, it's patterns (and some notions) as far as the eye can see. I found their selection to be very complete, and the employees were particularly delightful! It probably helped that it was a slick, snowy day, and they were impressed I had come by, since nobody was really on the streets at all. Some highlights: - I overheard one of the salespeople organizing a sale via the phone, so their online and "phone it in" orders seem robust. She said the order would go out in the mail that day, and I saw her taking a good amount of time to choose the couple of fabrics that would most closely match the customer's request, and give a recommendation as to which one the customer would actually buy. - To illustrate fabric count, they had a wall hanging of the same design stitched on four differently-sized fabrics, which was neat - They had lots of finishing supplies to help even the most indecisive person figure out how they want to finish - Their store models obviously came from years and years of stitching, so I imagine the collective knowledge in the store was pretty impressive. So if you're into needlework, it's worthwhile to check out. Especially if you're from Chicago it's worthwhile to make the short trip.

If…read moreyou can't find the right colors for your quilts here, you may not find them anywhere. :-) There is also a good selection of patterns, kits, and notions. I have bought two sewing machines here; a small one for travel and a larger one to keep at home. Both are excellent machines and I felt the price was quite fair. I also get my machines cleaned here yearly without any problems. I needed the timing on one of them after breaking a needle, and that was done correctly. The machine worked fine after they fixed it. I wonder if the repairmen now are different from those Emily M had a bad experience with.

Custom made pens, wine corks, hand made wooden gifts, baby clothes, earnings and the list goes on and on. MAKE THE TRIP and give this shop a try. You will NOT be disappointed.

The prices are fair and haggling will get you many smiles, but only a small discount. But that is all part of the fun, don't you think? A fine place to browse for what you didn't know you needed!
