According to whitepages.com, Melba Fechter's phone number is: (620) 678-3377.

You might give her a call and make sure if she could help you out before making a special trip.

Thanks patyrn, I'll definitely do that the next time I'm headed to Eureka (or Hamilton

)

Joanna; sorry, I got excited about my little joke with Jo-Ann's and your name and ended up misspelling it!

I'm kind of a crafty junkie (crafty as in creative, not witchy). I can spend hours in all of those stores! Especially before we moved into our new house... I spent a lot of time finding the perfect fabric and patterns for curtains, etc. The best Jo-Ann's store is in Overland Park (KC); they have a couple of HUGE stores there. The 2 in Wichita are so-so, as is the one in Joplin (compared to OP's), but they do have some good selections. HL's have good notions, but kind of hit-and-miss on the fabric sections. Hancock sometimes has some cool, funky fabric as well as good notions.

Have you tried Needle in a Haystack -- or the other quilting place in Severy? They surely would have a place to order from for you, wouldn't they?

Itchin' to Stitch. That's the place in Severy. Good idea, Jo!

Well, I called each of them and they said they don't do upholstery things. I know they have wonderful quilting supplies though... but I'm not a quilter, at least not yet. Maybe that can be my next all-consuming hobby. My husband is probably cringing right now!

dumb me for not giving you Melba's phone number. I do have a GW Co. book, as I'm sure you have. Guess I just figured you growing up in Eureka, you knew Melba. What I get for thinking. Usually gets me in trouble. $:-\$ now I'm gonna go finish my lawn.

Joanna,
You might talk to Gleneva Winn. She has done some chairs and things in the past and might be able to help you.

Hey Joanna,

I recovered some chairs way back when in Indiana and bought all my supplies at Hancock's there. Whether or not they carry the same stuff here, can't say. Also, since no one mentioned the Needle in a Haystack place on 400, I'm guessing they don't stock this kind of thing.

And I sure can imagine shopping with DIL is WAY more fun than shopping with your menfolk! LOL
