You must have a dream quilt shop to go to. :shock:
Shops like that are few and far between from my past experiences.
I must be lucky then, because there are many LQS within an hour's drive of my house. For me, how I am treated in the LQS makes a world of difference. I will spend money that I don't have in an LQS if they treat me well. The only quilt shop I have ever felt unwelcomed in was clear across the country in Seattle, WA.
All the LQS here are wonderful. My home LQS offers midnight quilter classes and I take them as often as possible. I can definitely get help with a modifying a pattern, color help, yardage help. They help all their customers with anything they need. :)
