25 miles to Chattanooga where there is a wonderful quilt shop - Lavender Lime Quilting - and a new Joanne's. Another 15 miles toward Atlanta there is also a quilt shop called Sew-Bee-It. There is a really poor excuse for fabric Hancocks in Chattanooga but it is really the pits! Unfriendly personnel and more home dec stuff than needed!
Oh yes, a couple of Hobby Lobby stores in Chattanooga as well. Our local Wal-Mart discontinued their fabric last fall and I doubt they will ever bring more than the pre-cut stuff back.
