I live in SE Alabama, almost on the Florida line. I used to have to go either to Panama City or Montgomery to shop at Hobby Lobby. There are four of them in Birmingham and have gone that far to shop there. I think hey have great fabrics and their sales are really good. You have to look at their weekly sales paper and can get some really good buys. We're finally getting one here, too. Can't wait. Supposed to open in February -- and that's right around the corner. I'm so excited!!
