I love the LQS shops that I frequent, but all of them are at least an hour away. Our closest JoAnns are also an hour away. The JoAnns and LQS stores closed before Wal-Mart came to town, and if ours stops carrying fabric, I will really miss it. I don't purchase much fabric for my "good" quilts there, but purchase fabric for other things often because, well, it's the closest place around. The less time on the road, the more time to sew with all the "good" fabric I buy elsewhere :)
