East Coast Fabric Shopping

 
 
This is a very long overdue post.  When we went to North Carolina in September to visit family, I planned on visiting one of the vendors that I met at the Vegas Fabric Show held August at the Orleans.


John Maiwandi, representative for S & R Sales was at the Vegas Fabric Show with beautiful home decor fabrics on display.  We got to talking, he gave me his card and I noticed that they were located in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

I asked if his shop was on the way to Braswell, Georgia (a scheduled business trip for hubby).  John said yes, just take exit such and such and take two turns and it's right there.  Told him I'd call him when we were on the way to Georgia.  OMG, it was more than overwhelming.


I quickly looked at several bolts and made selections.  Loaded up the car and off we went. We were on a "schedule" and needed to be in Braswell by a certain time. They were so helpful and pulled bolts out for me to look at in my hurried power shopping.
