You're not exactly in a quilting area. I know what that's like. I travel for a living and some places we go to have the most fantastic LQS and some have nothing for 100 miles. Right now I'm up near Detroit, and it's like that. Been here almost 7 months settling my DH's parents estate. No will, of course. The whole time, I've been to JoAnn's twice and flown to Macon twice (yeah!), and spent two weeks in Houston where I got to do a shop hop. Other than that, I browse a lot of catalogs and websites to get my "fix". Glad you found us and feel free to introduce a topic if you need help or opinions. You'll find they are quite plentiful and extremely varied.
