The closest shops to SF are in San Mateo and San Carlos, San Mateo is a much larger shop.
Always Quilting is the shop in San Mateo. Kit and Julie are the owners. That used to be my LQS until I moved away. It's a nice shop. Laurel Leaf is the one in San Carlos, it's a lot smaller. I also like the quilt shop in Berkeley (especially if you like batiks and Asians). It is called New Pieces (it's on Gilman and right off the 880).
