I live in Chapel Hill. Thimble Pleasures is the local quilt shop - moved from Carrboro to Chapel Hill. I am there frequently...
Dragonfly is opening in High Point this weekend, but that is a haul.
I've been to Quilts Like Crazy in Wake Forest, very friendly.
I've heard good things about Wish Upon a Quilt and Bernina World of Sewing, both in Raleigh, but have not been to either.
Cheers, K
