Living in Springfield, we are the major hub of Southwest Missouri. We are 35 minutes from Branson where Quilts & Quilts is located. We have several quilt shops,5 sewing machine shops,Hancock's, 2 Hobby Lobby's, 3 Walmart's that sell fabric,several fabric shops and this is all within the city limits. Then you can spread out to the north, south, east and west and add more to the numbers. It is nice to have variety and comparison shopping available. I know how lucky I am, 5 quilt/fabric shops are within 1 mile of my home.
