Did all those shops close that you were along 95 or near to it? Granted, they might not have been in your backyard, but still not hours away. I used to stop on my weekend trips between NYC and Boston. Branford/Guildford, Danbury, and there was another one I thought to the east of New Haven. Wow, they're dropping like flies.

I agree; it's great! I live in Pennsylvania and the next time I'm in California I'll take a large empty suitcase just for M & L fabric purchases :)

Here's a place to start looking. The CT list has 16 shops, all brick and morter. (the link directly to that list won't work for me, sorry)

And because I grew up nearby, this one in Danbury as well.
