Welcome from West Tennessee. You're not too far from us here in Newbern, TN. We visit Caruthersville, MO which is in the bootheel, fairly often. The bigger city of St Louis should give you better options on fabric buying. Enjoy it here, you'll make lots of friends and get lots of ideas and help if you need it. Oh, and we love pictures, avid quilter/crafter - show us your work!
