**If you come into Clara City and find yourself on the Junction of Highway 23 & 7 you need to travel East (towards Willmar) on Highway 23.  You will need to pass by the elevator (on your left) and continue through the intersection which has a convience store (Kwik N Ezy) on your right and Wild Hare floral & garden center on your left. We are about a block and a half past the the intersection, still on Hwy. 23.  Turn onto the service road by the blue machine shop building to find our tan quilt shop.  If you pass across the bridge you have gone too far.


If you are coming to us from Willmar (traveling west on Hwy. 23) you come into town where there is a large Impact Innovations building (on your left) and shortly after cross a bridge.  Once on the bridge you will see a grey (Seed dealership) on your left ight grey (Newski's Auto Service) lots of cars on your left and the quilt shop will be next to all of the Newski's cars.  We are in a tan building.  You may turn into the first service road entry point by the seed dealer or turn into the second entry right in front of our shop.  The big (Kay's Naturals) building which has a brown bottom will be across the street from us (and on your right).  If you drive past the Kwik N Ezy convience store or the elevator you have gone too far.
