There is a FABULOUS quilt shop called "Quilts and Quilts" - I believe that is the name. It was on the "strip" but got hit with a tornado a few years ago - so now they have relocated on a bypass road. Don't know any of your other questions, but there are a few quilt shops in a neighboring town - Ozark. They are close to "Lamberts" - the restaurant where they throw you the rolls - SUCH FUN.
