I tend to stand just inside the door of my fave lqs, if it's not crowded or too busy, and just gaze around at the fabrics and hanging quilted things. Then I go right to the children's fabrics and see what's new, then on around the shop taking in all the new fabrics and new quilts/patterns. I can't get out of there for less than $50 either, but that's okay I come home with lots of nice fabrics to pet!
