I live in a country town of about $25,000 and we are lucky enough to have three quilt shops plus a shop that buys liquidated stock from everywhere - so if you go in there you can sometimes have a real find.

Then you can spread out to the north, south, east and west and add more to the numbers. It is nice to have variety and comparison shopping available. I know how lucky I am, 5 quilt/fabric shops are within 1 mile of my home.

WM is about 7 minutes away, JA about 11 min. and the LQS perhaps 12 min; going north three/four great LQS are perhaps 45 min away along with JA; going south several LQS and one huge JA. I would really love to give all my business to the closest quilt shop, but they just don't seem to care. Have to struggle to get classes and the new fabric is not there.
