Ditto! Those stores are really bad for my bank account though!

Too much fabric in a store has never been a problem for me. I've found how they organize it makes all the difference between ability to pull and group fabrics vs. can't find anything. Also easier if aisles are wide open and there's good lighting. I prefer having lots to choose from. Some days I have difficulty choosing based on my can't decide mood and not that there is too much fabric.

I've sinced ordered from them on-line and it's a whole different -- and very good -- experience.

Hancock's of Paducah is a different outfit from Hancock Fabrics. The stuff I order from H of P is much nicer quality fabric than anything that Hancock Fabrics carries. I wish one of them would change their name and eliminate the confusion!

We have a store like that near here, well, 45 minutes away. Good thing or I'd be there all the time, I feel so 'connected'
It's a 2 story shop in an old barn called The Door Mouse

Yes! There is one quilt shop that I goto. When you walk in it is a small place, and you are really slapped in the face with all the fabric! I love it all, but it really is hard to shop there. If THAT makes any sense.

While staying in Lake Lure last week, a friend and I drove down to Mary Jo's. She had been there before; I had not. She said the trip was worth it just to see the expression on my face when I walked in. We stayed for a couple of hours and I just walked around taking it all in. Bought one project and suggested we leave for lunch, then come back and REALLY shop. When we went back to the store, I knew exactly where to go to find what I wanted. Had an awesome day and would do it again in a New York minute.
