I do a fair amount of traveling, so I try to stop if I see a quilt or fabric shop, or turn around, if I didn't see it in time. Some of my best fabrics came from those little LQS rather than Joann's or Hancocks, where I usually buy my fabric. Some of my family members travel with me, and they all know that the trip will be a little longer than planned, if I see a quilt shop. LOL
