I am so lucky. There are about 10 quilt shops within 20 miles of my house--and I live in the country. On an 8 mile stretch of high-way there are about 8 shops with just a small jog off the high-way. I try to support the shop close to my house, as that is the shop that I like to take classes at. All of the shops that I have been to carry different styles of fabric and different books. A friend of mine and I plan to take a day and go to all of the shops, but not with winter weather. I also have a JoAnn's with-in 15 miles and my Wal-Mart carries fabric. How lucky can you get!!!
