We were actually next door I believe at a place called JB'S? Cute bar. We had it rented out for a bridal shower with about 50 guests. It was a cute space. The restroom could use some TLC but for our need, it was good.

A friend suggested that I have a look, and I'm glad I did. The selection of fabrics was small, but well curated. The store is in a beautiful space and staff helpful and friendly. The prices are average, which is a bargain for the quality of goods.

On Aug 3rd I was on a motorcycle trip to Kansas to see my father and upon returning to Little Rock I left Kansas and was making a stop in Joplin at the Fabric Merchant to purchase a Row by Row piece for my mother. As I got to mail street my motorcycle experienced a flat tire I parked in front of the TrueValue store and though "what am I going to do now"? Not to be deterred from the mission I was sent on by my mother I walked about 3 blocks the Fabric Merchant store. I entered the store and was cheerily greeted, I explained my situation, bought the Row by Row and prepared to return to my motorcycle
