Two local LQS have gone out of business in the last 18 months. I will support my LQS as often as possible. I have to drive an hour to get to the closest one, so I don't get to go more than once every few months. JoAnns in closer, but they don't have the quality I'm looking for. I have cheaper fabric, and I'm using it up as fast as I can. I want my quilts to last several lifetimes. The better the fabric, the longer it will last. The cheaper fabric will do for utility quilts and practice.
