It's a bright and inviting space with a unique way of accessing fabric, fat quarter swatches of each print are hung, with a numbered tag, on the wall and they'll run to the back to fetch the yardage for you. It reminded me of furniture shopping and piling all the swatches on the table while you agonize over colors. The only downsize is swatches are hung by color not collection which could make things a bit more difficult to find or identify. They carry high quality quilters cottons with a wide selection of prints and blenders mostly modern if I had to say their emphasis and a small section of batiks. They offer long arm services and classes which are just getting started back up again after their brief closure from Covid. Certainly a must stop if you're an avid quilter.

I went in desperate with a damaged sweater I had made. She stopped what she was doing and spent over an hour both helping me fix my sweater and assisting me with a pattern I didn't understand. She even stayed late after the shop was supposed to close. I will do everything I can to support this lovely business.

When you're making pieces that you want to last for many years you look for quality yarn and they have top set yarns, roving materials, looms etc. If you are into the fiber arts you will not be disappointed with this gem! Can't wait to go back!

You would not expect to find a baby store in the middle of what is essentially an office park…read more Entering Dream a Little Dream you'll see their offices at first and a few pieces of display furniture, but a bit further in you'll enter their warehouse where the bulk of the furniture is. And to be clear, it is JUST furniture--you will not find any sort of accessories or other baby items here, nor will you find juvenile furniture beyond a convertible crib. But they have several different cribs, bookshelves, etc. and they also carry Romina furniture, which is a brand from Romania that is Greengold certified. (Not sure if they carry Romina's sister brand Silva, however.) I visited to look for a chair for my child's nursery. They have three or so different brands of chairs. There was one I did like; it reclines, has control buttons on the inside of the chair (instead of outside where little fingers may enjoy pressing buttons) and there's USB connections as well for phone (it may even have had the Apple lightening connection). Unfortunately it was about $100 more expensive than another I'm interested in, and it would cost me $175 to have it delivered to my home on the far north side. They'd put it together, rather than me having to put together another one I might buy, but I'm still not sure I can justify spending a minimum $300 more on a chair from them. Anyway, it's a place that could be worth a visit if you're seeking baby furniture. I'm not sure how the scale of delivery costs changes if you're closer to Modena than I am, so perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if you're in the south suburbs.

She measured me and then consulted with my GF, the fashionista of my relationship. Then she called the warehouse. The warehouse person was kind of can't do. Sheila patiently worked with her and got things done. Betsy, the seamstress, is equally can do. Once my items arrived she was willing to work to get the alterations done in a timely manner for me. I'm sure there were other clients with weddings and stuff to wait on too. But I was given attentive, kind service that made me feel welcome in what could be an intimidating setting for someone like me who is not a clothes horse. Thank you Sheila and Betsy for creating a miracle through can do attitude.
