Great idea! My very favorite LQS is Little Blessings Quilt Shop, just off Exit 317 on Interstate 40 in Crossville, Tennessee. You will never enter that shop without one of the terrific women greeting you. They offer lessons, long arm quilting, gorgeous fabrics, and Pfaff machines. Julia is the owner and is almost always in the shop. Her husband, Robert, takes care of the machines and does much of the long arm quilting ... he's great! I go on Tuesdays for lessons or to work on my quilt with 8-10 other women ... great fun!
