Yes, I visit my LQS's. Probably too often for my pocket book. I visit 2 monthly as I am doing a BOM and a mystery quilt. Lost one in our town just recently due to death of the owner - lovely lady. But we have 7 that are with half an hour or less - 4 about 15/20 minutes - one is a mile away and also a JoAnn's less than a mile. I use JoAnns for wall hangings as they don't get the wear of a quilt. Most of ours are very helpful. Good thing as I need lots of help sometimes. Did just find a new shop to me - didn't know it existed but has been there for 9 years. About 20 minutes away. Neat shop.
