I came into the shop looking for Fray Check, which they didn't have. For probably the best reason…read morethat if you properly sew your clothes, you don't need to worry about fray. One of the clerks looked it up for me at Walmart, even gave me the aisle number. All of this was wonderful, but the real reason for the review would be their lovely fabrics. I am the least skilled seamstress that ever existed. I gave up sewing long ago. If someone would have put effort into selling me something, I'd be the fool who'd buy something beautiful to turn it into a three car collision. The most beautiful fabrics.

I am a sucker for a locally owned / specialty type quilt shop and have been meaning to get in to…read morethe French Seam for a while - but they were never open when I tried! I totally understand that Covid has forced us a lot of businesses to adjust their hours and the way they run - and the French Seam was no exception. Luckily, I had a day off work recently and was able to get in on a weekday during their limited business hours. Let me just say this - they have some gorgeous fabrics. Quilting cottons are separated from the garment fabrics in the small front area and they have a few notions available. I love being able to look through pre-cuts and they had a good selection of fat quarters organized by color in rolling carts available for purchase. I was also told that there was a 'clearance' area in the back/warehouse type area - so I made a break for it (you had me at clearance!). Back there I was able to score a package of fat quarters for $3 (I was told it was because they were 'old' fabrics - but who cares?) and some other pre-cut yardage at a discount. SCORE! Back in the open 'warehouse' type area also appears to be where machines are located and perhaps where classes would be held (pre/post Covid). Of note, I think I may have thrown off the older, more conservative appearing lady working in the store with my appearance when I walked in, but the younger gal working the counter was very sweet. Overall, I was excited for my new-to-me fabrics to add to my stash and glad I got to check the place out as it is SUPER close to where I live.

The Anderson Museum of Art is located in an exquisite example of a former Carnegie Library in…read moreIndiana. My jaw dropped when I entered and saw the elegant scrollwork and magnificent stained glass rotunda. The former library, now is home to the Anderson Museum of Art. The Arts Education Outreach Specialist, Molly, was welcoming and informative about the building and museum. We paid a small admission fee ($3) to visit the museum. Today, the museum promotes the arts with two front galleries that hold juried exhibits. A third gallery holds works of local artists. Funds from a small gift shop are used to continue restoration of the building. A small frame shop is also available to purchase custom frames. Downstairs is a Children's Art Center and classroom. The facility also hosts events, such as weddings. Construction of the Beaux-Arts style building started in 1903. The mayor of Anderson had requested a grant from Andrew Carnegie. The city received $50,000 from Carnegie and finished the building in 1905 at a cost of $52,000. Kokomo Opalescent Glass provided the glass for the breathtaking rotunda dome. The building served as a library until 1987, replaced by a modern facility. The building sat idle for nine years after 1987 resulting in extensive water damage. Restoration efforts have been possible through gifts from art patrons and grants from the city of Anderson. Some of the fixtures are period pieces or reproductions. I highly recommend a visit if you like art and history. There is free parking in front of the building.

I had a very disappointing experience at this location today regarding a clear pricing error and,…read moremore importantly, the way I was treated by management. I found a large painting that had two separate price tags for $4. Every other painting in that same rack was also marked $4. When I got to the register, I was told it was a mistake and the price was actually $14. When I spoke with the manager to ask if they would honor the price, given that it was marked twice and the entire rack was consistent, and she refused. Instead of taking responsibility for a clear clerical error, she told me that "customers switch tags" and insisted on full price. It is one thing to have a pricing mistake, but it is another to imply that the customer is being dishonest. To be accused of switching tags when the evidence of a store-wide marking error was right in front of them was insulting. I've always enjoyed shopping here for my home projects, but I won't be back after being treated like a scammer over a $10 difference.
