Grant county was named after president Ulysses S. Grant. Long ago the county located in the sandhills of Nebraska was a great hideaway spot for outlaws and fugitives. Today, the county has more cattle per square mile than any other county in the United States.

The Quilt Basket

The Quilt Basket in York has a wide selection of fabric for all kinds of creators. I was shocked at the amount of variety in fabrics. They have several prints for holidays such as 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas. If you need some fabric for a children’s quilt, you want to make a stop. The selection is overwhelming and I wanted to purchase the whole store. Also, once you meet purchasing $500 in products from their store, you will receive $25 of free products. Therefore, it pays to shop at The Quilt Basket.
