Check out Sew-Bee-It in Ringgold, GA just south of Chattanooga about 5 miles. Take exit 348 and go right on Alabama Highway approx. 1/2 mile. You will pass a Wendys on the right and the shop is just past it on the left as you go over a small hill. This shop was completely demolished in the April tornado and I think it is amazing that they just reopened today!!! I know they would appreciate any and all visitors to let them know how much they have been missed.
Here is a link that if you copy and paste it into your browser will take you to their Flickr site with pics of the new building and probably the pics of the post tornado damage are still there.
The only other local quilt shop, Lavender Lime Quilts, closed soon after but due to other circumstances.
There is a Hobby Lobby and a JoAnn's at the Hamilton place Mall.
Hope you enjoy your visit! And safe traveling.
