Calico Cow has a web site

DELTA JUNCTION, ALASKA... It's here, it's there, it's everywhere. It was here yesterday, today, and for the future... Calico Cow is on the Web.

For all of you quilting-addicts, fabric surfers, and otherwise strange people know now the Calico Cow has moved from the Alaska Highway to the Richardson Highway. Then, from up on the second floor in their new home, the Calico Cow went digital.

So click on to go to the Cow's new "fabric barn" on the Web.

On the Cow's home page you find these welcoming words,
"Welcome to The Calico Cow!
We are a quilt shop located in the beautiful interior Alaska city of Delta Junction. Delta Junction is at the end of the Alaska Highway, and about 100 miles southeast of Fairbanks, at the junction of the Richardson and Alaska Highways.

Our shop has recently moved from the Alaska Highway location to larger quarters on the Richardson Highway within walking distance of the Delta Junction Visitor Center, in the same building as the Mt. McKinley Bank.

We would love to have you come and visit on your next trip through Delta Junction - it will be worth your time!

Contact us at 907-895-9895 or info@thecalicocow.com if you have any questions."
Like most good quilt shops, Calico Cow pushes their top-quality 100% cotton fabric, convenient downtown location (in rural Delta that's really nice), and their classes.

However, these Cow-ladies are a bit different — they encourage You (or your spouse) to come sit and visit, read magazines (*** note*** they have male-friendly reading as well as quilting magazines) and talk quilting with friends in our "chair corner".

( Question — What is "male-friendly reading"? Alaska Fishing Guide? Milepost? Playboy? Mudd Boggers Northwest?

And who made these "male-friendly" selections? )

Really — inspite of the reading selections, they have an elevator to get to the second floor, and as I recall, they are very nice ladies. So stop in and visit the Calico Cow when you pass through Delta Junction.

Buy from their wide variety of fabrics, (they say many are difficult to find elsewhere). Or check out the complete Jinny Beyer Palette and the wide variety of Alaskana/Northwoods fabrics. If that is not enough to satisfy your fabric-addiction, there is a large selection of batiks plus florals, kid's prints, flannels, wide backings and the standard — "Lots of books, battings, gifts, and notions".

Come take a June class from an official "Cow Teacher". If you are quick sign up for a Beginner Four-Patch Baby Quilt/Wall hanging class. Jackie Becker is the instructor and she will be there this Saturday, June 3rd, from 10AM to 4PM.

If you can't make that... plan on taking
"Crazy Cats", a Buggy Barn class on June 24. Joyce Bendell will do the teaching honors.

Come to the Calico Cow and be greeted with Alaska prints as well as new and seasonal fabrics.

My only questions...
1. Are there any Calico Buffalo Cows?
2. Are there Calico Cow pies in chocolate?
