One of our LQS has most of the things that you all have mentioned so I know how lucky I am. She has an old wash tub that the remnants, scraps from cutting kits/blocks, end of bolts go into and you can pack a sandwich baggie full for $3.00. Her discontinued fabric is in the 'backyard area' and the nice sized pieces are rolled into 'orphans'. There is a tea room called 'The Fat Quarter Tea Room' that serves great food and desserts. The first Saturday of the month is used for anyone to bring in and 'Show Off'. Lots of classes going all hours. My favorite things is to go through her wash-tub and it just amazes everyone how much fabric I can get in a bag. I sit and roll the scraps into tight little bundles. I have had sometimes at least 2 yards in a bag. Merrily's runs a great quilt shop in our area.
