During our Quilting Weekend in Tawas City several years ago, we found the Cotton Patch Quilt Shoppe in East Tawas, Michigan. Two very interesting things about this quilt shop:
1. They had an incredible inventory of fabric, supplies and patterns for being in such an out-of-the-way location
2. On display (one of those, "My God, I need to make that!" quilts) were the blocks from the Northern Woods quilt featuring moose, deer, fish and other northern woods themes.
We spend quite a bit of time in the shop looking and talking to the owner. She is able to keep such a wonderfully supplied shop in such a remote location because the bulk of her business is internet sales. She had a "back room" where local women were employed to cut fabric into packets that are sold with patterns.
