Thanks in Advance.
Ann,
My favorite is Welcome Stitchery in Crystal Lake. A bit off the beaten
track, but well worth the trip. They are at 35 E Crystal Lake Ave, just
on the edge of downtown. 815-455-5470

Just my $.02 worth!

Since you requested N/NW suburbs, and last I checked Naperville wasn't one...
These are the three stores that a friend gave to me about a year and a half
ago. I have never visited or called the first two...
The Cross Stitch Place 6154 W. Higgins
Chicago IL 60630
312/631-8802
Designer's Desk 104 S. Bloomingdale Road
Roselle IL
708/893-3999
Cross Stitch 'n' Such 1441 W. Schaumburg Rd
Schaumburg IL 60194
708/894-6664
The third one on the list was still there a few months ago, and I have
bought several Teresa Wentzler patterns there. My major complaint with
them was that they seemed very unfriendly to people that work during the
day. Their hours were something like "open two hours after I have to be
at work", and "close about two hours before I get home". They are open a
bit later one weekday evening. I don't know about weekends.

Tons of patterns, room full of frames. You could spend the whole day
in there but the owner seems snoobish or crabby most of the time.

This one is nice. I also know they have classes and the people that
teach those are very friendly.
