I was in Alaska a couple of years ago on a tour and hit fabric stores is several towns (I found addresses on the internet). The folks were great -- they all did the flat rate boxes so I greatfully filled them with fabric (they had several lines unique to Alaska) and other goodies and shipped them down to me. (I did not have enough room in the luggage to pack what I wound up buying and DH refused to carry any extra bags LOL). I also got some cool patterns and some painted fabric.
Have a great time!!!
