Yes, I buy from LQS when I can afford to. I usually go in and check out the sales, and buy those. I love the bits and pieces usually less than 1/4 that I buy for 1/2 price. One shop has bolts for 1/2 price, I try to buy my backings there. I make quilts I hope will be used and still last way past my lifetime because they are the best quality but not at top prices.
