I'm moving to Idaho! Well, maybe not... I don't think I could handle the cold weather.
We have two quilts shops in town and a couple of other sewing/fabric shops, plus Joann's, Hancocks, and Hobby Lobby. Our Walmarts (all 4 of them) do not have fabric.

There are five quilt shops within a half an hour drive from my house, and like yours, each has its own specialty, but all have friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. I feel lucky in that department! There are also at least two JoAnns within 30 miles, maybe more. And I believe there may be a couple more quilt shops within an hour drive. Yup, it's quilt haven here:)

You are very lucky!!! No Joanns, no Hancocks, no LQS, no Wal-Mart. The closet would be 400 miles, the fabric district in Tokyo!!!! Thank god for the Internet!!!! Two more years and we will be back in the states!!!

70K people and NO place to buy good fabric...have to drive 2 hours to Wichita or 1.5 hours to OKcity!
