i love the Amish quilt shops which are about 30 miles away. We take a group of women and make a day of it. the prices are low, the selection is fantastic and the fabric is good quality.

Although I support my LQS throughout the year, I recently found a thrift store that has been a terrific source for me. I recently purchased a big rolled up piece of Thermolam (a little soiled on one edge-but it is washable) and a few cuts of South Sea, Benartex.

Our local quilt shop closed recently so now I shop on line and make a trek to Mary Jo's every so often.

I have several quilt shops all within 25-30 miles, so I can take my pick. My local WalMart never lost it's fabric and there are 2 JoAnn's within 20 miles of my house. Is there any wonder why my stash is getting out of hand? I live in the country BTW. Lucky, huh.

Are you kidding? Maybe my boyfriend would actually go with me to the fabric store without making his sad-baby-seal face if they had sporting goods. Wish we had one of those. :lol:

Other than Walmart, I order on line.

My area has two Joanns and four quilt shops not to far away.
One shop, 35th Ave Sew and Vac, just moved into a new store that is as big as a supermarket. Mulqueens has all their fabric for $6.99 a yard regular price and has dollar off sales.
But I still buy online alot. You get such good sales online.
There are also four Walmarts but the closest one only has precuts but they are getting fabric back. A couple of the others still have fabric.

I hunt around.. internet, shops, thrift shops, second hand, rummage sales.. anywhere I can get a fabric fix, but has to be a deal..

I do most of my shopping online. If I am heading to an area with a lot of shops I go armed with coupons :wink: and a list :D:D:D

Everywhere. :mrgreen:

There are six or eight great quilt shops within easy driving distance, but I'm so happy with the Civil War specialist one that that's the only one I go to, locally. The employees are all friendly, there are constantly new fabrics and products in the shop, but they keep plenty of "old standards," too. They have interesting BOM and classes - and on Mondays, if you buy ten or more FQ's, you get 30% off all of them! LOVE that store!

I love fabric.com, judipat47 & franks11 on eBay, connectingthreads.com, quiltinaday.com, whittlesfabrics.com, betterquiltkits.com - all wonderful! :)
