I like to walk in and feel WOW and not want to leave for a couple hours.

Definately fabric, usually batiks and brights first unless I'm there looking for a specific color then I'll head to that color first - then browse everything else.

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.
