North Georgia Fall Season is Fun For Fabric Junkies!

As the heat of summer wanes, and the colors of fall settle on the landscapes and mountain tops of North Georgia, there’s a whole world of fresh, new colorful fabrics to contend with, especially for those holiday gift giving projects.  For ideas and fun times with friends and family, start with our 2nd Annual Leaf Lookers Shop Hop!

North Georgia Fabric Stores Fall Event

 

Friday and Saturday, October 7th and 8th.
Three shops, including FG&QS are SPONSORS of this autumn mini-shop hop event.
