I visited my sister near Lexington 2 years ago and went to some of the quilt shops. All I can tell you is be careful - - one of the quilt shops (I don't remember the name) still RIPS the fabric instead of cutting it with a rotary cutter. I couldn't hardly stand it! I bought an adorable Christmas fabric that had a black background with elfs on it and I lost 2 inches on each side of the fabric because of the ripping. Maybe by now they have changed their practices. I surely hope so!! But keep an eye out!
