My favorite LQS is closing this month - she will be doing online only. Another is for sale - her DH is being transferred to WA and she's hoping someone will buy the shop and keep it open. The next one is okay, has classes and stuff, but the fab selection is not my taste. My favorite shop is about 35 miles so I don't get there very often, tho I like her fabs and staff.
I've been doing my be$t to $upport the $hop$ since the first of the year, and would like to do more, if DH would cooperate and get me a new machine!
