When you go into a quilt shop, where do you head first? The fabric? The patterns? I would love to know what you love best about your local quilt shop.

Well, the fabric is overwhelming and everywhere - I cannot go in and not browse through all the fabric. I usually look for patterns on the internet because I can take my time and find what I want - sometimes even for free -
|
For me it's fabric!! Ijust love the feel of it too!

There are things in a quilt shop other than fabric?
|
I like to walk in and feel WOW and not want to leave for a couple hours.

The fabric! ... always check the 40% off section! Got two nice prints today !
|
The sale corner, then the fabrics, In my closest shop I usually check out the Asian fabrics first, then the new fabrics display and then walk the rest of the isles of fabric looking for whatever might call my name.

Fabric! Want to be buried in it!! LOL
|
The clearance section.
|
I usually go to the desk and chat with the girls a while, tell them what I'm working on, what I'm looking for and then I look around, go to the class room see if I know anyone in there, chat with them a while, just generally catch up with people I know through quilting, but don't see all the time.
|
I try to go everywhere at once!
|
I always stop to say hi to whoever is in the shop. They have become not only a wonderful resource for quilting supplies, but great friends. Even if I don't buy a thing, I know I am welcome to spend time there.
By the way, if you head to Chattanooga anytime, the shop is called Lavender Lime Quilting. |

Buried in Fabric...lol...me too! I love it. If there are ppl waiting to have fabric cut, I'll check out patterns but any LQS is strictly fabric heaven to me.
|
I don't really head anywhere first. I walk in the door and work my way around the room and up and down the aisles. Love every bit of it!

I head straight for the fabric. It is calling to me. I need to pet it. And take some home.

Fabric, then notions

I always head for the back because that is where the sale rack usually is.. lol

I always hit the fabric clearance section first, then I go after what I came if for to begin with.
|
The fabric of course. I could browse for hours.
