There is a great place near Asheville on I-40 in Swannanoa. It is called Carolina Fabric Outlet, google it, because it has recently moved.
Also there is a place in Fletcher, NC (I-26) little south of Asheville, called Fabric & Foam (something like that, again google it).
Both are great places. Oh, just remembered, there is a nice little quilt shop in Black Mountain, NC, across from Depot.
