Unfortunately the economy in Southern California has caused my favorite quilt shop to close so I travel 45 miles once a month for my applique group and it just happens to be my new favorite quilt shop. They are friendly, personable, reasonable as they can be in this economy, have great class schedules for those that live in the area and they do accurate cuts. Many times they will overcut the item just to have a happy customer. I know it is getting expensive to shop the LQS's, especially for those of us on a fixed income but it is so worth it using fine material.
