Good service and friendly people ready to help. All the employees are quilters. The sewn examples are gorgeous. The selection of Civil War prints is stupendous. The LQS has classes and Blocks of the Month that interest me. I can park 10 feet from the front door and I don't have to walk half a mile back to the fabric department.
The overall shopping experience is just more pleasant and easier at my LQS than at Walmart or Joann. :)
