Sounds like you had a great time at Sew Bee's. I have never heard of the shop before. Its so nice to walk in a LQS and have the ladies be attentive enough to answer questions. You dont get that persona le help at places like JoAnns or Hancocks. Well at least I havent. I guess not all shops/stores are the same either. I love Batiks as well. Seeing so many of those in the LQS had to be like being in a candy shop. Im sure very over whel.ing. I am in Piveon Forge at this moment and until Sunday. I had no idea there was a quilt shop in Sevierville. Thanks to the person who posted this. Maybe I can visit while we are here.
