My favorite quilt shop in Raleigh is Wish Upon A Quilt. Bernina World of Sewing is also great. Sew Unique is good. I understand they have recently changed from garment oriented fabric to more 100% cotton for quilting. I haven't been there since the change though. Thimble Pleasures in Chapel Hill has already been mentioned, but I would second that recommendation. They're great. There's also a great quilt shop in Wake Forest, NC. I believe the name is Quilt Like Crazy, but I'm not sure. There are also shops in Apex, Carrboro, and Cary. These are all considered to be in the Raleigh area. Enjoy!
