I just can't support all the LQS here. There are over 30!! But I do try to spread myself around. However, I do have a favorite. About a year ago I signed up for a techniques quilting class that met once a month. First class there were like 9 of us. Each month there were fewer and fewer people until finally it was just me and my BFF. So, they quit offering the class. I'm so bummed because I was learning so much and had so much fun. I have to drive pretty far but it is so worth it. A few months ago the new owner took over and she is wonderful. Always a great Hi to me. I feel like she is a friend. She always seems glad to see me, gives me free items some times. I love this shop. It is called Thimble and Threads in Draper, UT.
Just had to give a shout out for them! :thumbup:
Oh, and I do buy a lot at Joann's too. Usually backing. But I just found out that my fav LQS gives 25% off your backing fabric if you bring in your finished quilt top! So, I guess you know where I am getting my backing fabric from now on!
