Next time you go to that fabric shop, ask some of the customers if there are other shops in the area, get into a conversation about quilting(you may make a friend there) and you can order fabric on line from www.connectingthreads.com. www.fabricshack.com, www.quiltfabriccloseout.com, www.thousandsofbolts.com along with www.keepsakequilting.com(they will send a catalog to you if you request it or you can shop on line in their catalog).
Some times I get lonely living by myself here in Idaho where I have no relatives. Don't go any place to meet friends. I met one friend at the Doctors office and two more are my neighbors. So I try to keep busy with my quilting and the lonely goes away.
