Looking for fabric (quil)t shops
#2
I don't but when I'm going to be travelling I just go to my browser and type in Quilt or Fabric stores in the _____area and do a search. I usually get a list from there and can go to the sites of the stores listed to see if they're quilting stores. Then I check how far out of the way they are and see if they're feasible to go to. However if you find some, they'll be on rather small islands so they aren't going to be out of the way at all. Also check in the touristy booth things. Sometimes they have rather inexpensive "island dresses" that can be cut up into quilt pieces. Be sure and prewash with a color catcher if you do that though.

I know there is a fabric/quilt shop on St. Thomas. Went there from a cruise ship. It is downtown on a side street. They specialize is hand-dyed batiks and had a great sale basket. It was a fun adventure riding a cab into town and finding this shop.

When you get off the ship it's towards the middle of town about 4 blocks up and towards the right, I hope this helps. I can't remember the name of the shop!
