It has been a dream of mine to visit this place for almost a decade. We were visiting my in-laws just over an hour away and made a morning trip. It was so much more than I had imagined. Friendly staff, clean like you wouldn t believe. Tons of restrooms. The only drawback was I was hoping to find a unique pre-quilted fabric. This is not actually a quilted fabric. It s a design, often paisley, that has been gone over with a long arm usually in a small, diamond or square pattern. None of the staff even understood what I was asking for. I would not lower my star rating as this is not typically used for quilting. Just thought it would be something they carried. The staff did try to suggest where it may be located after I showed them a picture. I also did not see any quilt kits that included all fabric material needed. Saw some but all needed purchase of additional fabric for backing. Not a huge deal, but not a complete kit. Again this does not affect star rating as this was just something that made me wonder. The correlating YouTube channel (I ve been watching almost since it began) is the reason I can quilt. The videos explained everything to me I needed to know to start and have helped me become better. The tutorials range from, cutting, ironing, patterns, etc. the videos are easy to follow and show excellent views of Jenny working. Most videos do some of these things but not all. Due to this I can only imagine how great her in person workshops are. My MIL has met her when she came to her church to teach a lesson on how to care for family heirloom quilts. She described Jenny as lovely and kind.
