What are the best fabric stores in the CT, NY, RI area? I have recently seen Free Spirit fabrics online and like them, but I think I would prefer to go to a store and "touch" the fabric...

Some that I like:
www.colchestermillfabrics.com in Colchester, nice old mill building in a pretty town, nice staff, good prices.

In MA, but not too far from the RI/CT border, is Charlton Sewing Center www.charltonsewingcenter.com Beautiful store in an old church, very well stocked, lots of friendly helpful staff. Also on their website are a number of other area stores, had a great day trip last month with my sister. Fabric Stash, just down the road, is also good.

I just stopped at Quilter's Stash in North Attleboro, MA last week. It is just over the border from CT - it was great. Lots of batiks and bright colors, which are my favorites.

I love this one when I visit CT. Quadrille, North Haven, Ct. Maybe you can check with the directory of Quilters Travels.
Sorry that is all I have.

Hi Lynn - I lived in Guilford, Ct before my husband and I retired here in MB. There is a Joann's right in Hamden - I go there whenever I'm up visiting my family. There is also one on Manchester. Any other LQS I do not know - was not into quilting before moving here. But I did a lot of sewing and always found good deals at Joann's.
