This hidden gem of a fabric shop is a favorite of ASGLA member,
Lori Johnson from Frazier Park. She recently commented, "be
prepared to be a bit overwhelmed at first... most all the fabrics
are on rolls, 54-60" wide from $1.00 per yard, lots of good stuff in
the $2.00-$3.00 range. Buttons 6/$1.00, interfacing $1.00 p/y.
Trims and lace, drapery and upholstery at great prices too!"

After a bit of shopping at F & M, we will have lunch nearby and
head over to Hancock Fabrics after lunch. Then, an optional shop to
visit is Strawberry Patches which is a quaint fabric shop in the area.
You are welcome to join our carpool or meet at the first location.
