The man working there was so friendly and informative. He was proud of their offerings and welcomed me coming in close to closing. I was just passing through and didn't want to keep them, but this is definitely a place worth checking out. The whole town is super cute and caters to local artists and this place is really a surprise when you find yourself just meandering through East Texas.

It was a three and a half hour drive for us to get there from our house near The Woodlands. The Greater Piney Woods of East Central Texas between Huntsville and Tyler were a sight to behold and to this day, make me happy to be a Native Texan. Small towns, like Quitman, hide gems within their city limits. Stitchin' Heaven is one such place. Hitting the parking lot, you realize tuis is much more than a quilt shop. It is a quilters destination, a cloth clubhouse for anyone wanting to stitch up folk art. They have classes and retreats for those that desire to learn this ancient art of making bed coverings. We spent about an hour inside ... the Wife browsing, I, just gawking at the displays of true hand made beauty. Fantasy Quilts, Traditional ones, special themed ones all were draped along the walls to stare at and wonder. Wonder how someone could dedicate so much time and effort to achieve this work of love and art. I came out of there with a new appreciation of what thread, needles and a good set of shears can do to a bolt of cloth. If you are ever up there, stop by and just see the hanging quilts. If you like to quilt or would like to learn, check out their website stitchinheaven.com to see what they offer for classes and supplies. You might even get a selfie with their painted cattle statue near the door. My Wife wants to do the retreat ... I may just pay for her to do that, while I ride the local roads and take in what East Texas has to offer scenery wise. Ciao, Darrell

The Loft is an antique mall with 60 different vendors set up with their own decorated blocks and booths filled with anything and everything from glassware, clothes, vinyl records, knickknacks, and more. All three stories are worth exploring because you'll never know what you'll find and see. It's like a museum of history in itself and free entertainment as you find stuff you never knew existed (Coca-Cola branded Labubu?) Give them a shot when you're in the area. We got a good 2 hours of exploration out of it! RIYL: old stuff

This antique mall was pretty huge. It had 3 stories, upper, middle and a basement. There are all…read moresorts of vintage plates and items that are sure to please many collectors. On the doll front there were only a handful of Baarbies and other items, one stall having toy items, but that's about it. So for me, it wasn't really worth it, but my friend did find a cute vintage plate. Parking can be hard, so there's a parking structure around the corner. There is also limited street parking during construction.
