I would agree Mary Jo's (it was a deptment store like a JC Penny's in a Mall) they beat out Hancocks in Paduck.. I've been to both and was disappointed in Hancocks(nice store but no Mary Jo's). another great thing about Mary Jo's is the parking space it's hugh so easy to get in and out with a RV...

Quilter's Cottage is one of my favorites. Well stocked, they turn their merchandise over quickly (good sales) and the staff always been helpful but without hovering. Also, I like It's a Stitch in Humble and have visited Painted Pony. We really do have great shops in and around Houston with one exception which has rude employees, pretend they are doing you a favor when they offer 10% off and has the highest prices among all of the Houston quilt shops. Needless to say, they don't get my business anymore.

Hancocks of Paducah has over 60,000 sq feet and 40 employees. When I was there a few years ago, I found that a back room has long tables of piles of 1 yard cuts of fabric. Probably 50 women were in there searching. The trick was when you found some of the fabric you liked, you put it over your shoulder, when someone else finds something you have over your shoulder, they holler to you and you go get it and then you have 2 yrds, this continues until you have all you want. The lines were out the door, so if you go, don't go anywhere near closing time. It's a day trip, not an hour or two...
