I live 15 minutes from the Mall of America. Hundreds of stores and not 1 sells fabric. I don't go there very often. My home town has about 10,000 people and is a suburb of St. Paul,MN. Nothing special about the town it's small and it's old.
Lots of people related to each other. I have lived here most of my life but still don't feel part of the town. The good thing is we are close to everything. I have 5 quilt shops plus Hancock and Joannes.
Life is good.
