The owner of my closest shop is owned by a quilt guild member. She would spank me if I didn't come in! I love to fondle fabric and if it is rough, I won't buy it unless I just have to have it because it is the only fabric that will fill that last spot in a quilt. And colors are hard to judge on a computer screen. Many fabrics in my stash are there because it looked on the screen like it would work in a project, but was just not the color I thought it would be. I do have lots of stuff from Joann, but that fabric (except for flannel) seems to be stiffer or too thin and loosely woven. Not to mention that it is almost as expensive as the lqs stuff and they don't give you a punch card like my lqs, either.
