There was a question we all answered about how far away we must go to buy fabric and of course, which Walmart still sells fabric is always discussed.
I have a LQS 20min south and another, 20min north of my home. Both are thriving.
Today, I went to check out the one north of me to see her new location. Her place is bigger and better than her previous location, with a Coco's restaurant in the same group of stores and a big parking lot. She's doing really well there!
So, I'm curious, in this 1-2years of bad economy troubles, are all your quilt shops still OK too?

I have one 10 blocks for my apartment she is doing ok.....I do what I can when I can to help her out LOL
There is another LQS 40 miles away I dont see them closing anytime soon but you never know I have only been there twice.
I know there are some in Amarillo but unless I HAVE to go I will not go just for fabric....if neither LQS have what I want, I wait or get it online.

Lately I don't go to my LQS. The cost of fabric around here is getting more and more expensive so for the last year or so I have been purchasing online. If I do need to get something I go to the quilt shop just around the corner from where I work. The fabrics are still pricey, but they have a nice selection

We have 2 in the town where I live. One has been there many years, Gingers. She has a good on-line business. The other one is across town and only opened 1 year ago. They are doing GREAT!! They are already needing to expand. They are great people. Both stores carry completely different fabrics. gingers is more novelty & lots of oriental. Borne Quilter is more the current fabric trends so it is a nice diversity.
