Well, I live in So.Cal and can't get away from JoAnns. We are blessed with quite a few quilt shop, but all the other fabric stores have left the area. My daughter is looking for a decortive belt buckel for a dress and JoAnns doesn't have any. This is not something that quilt shop carry and online will cost too much for shipping. We can drive to L.A. but the is at least an hour away and parking is hard to find or expensive.
