I have taken projects with me to Keepsake in NH and had everyone gather and give opinions and ideas when I needed to get inspired again.
Sometimes I need a particular color for a border -- you know one of those shades "I'll know it when I see it" colors -- It really helps to have another pair of eyes sometimes.

Would have to say LQS have nice fabric but, as others have said, some can be really snooty. The snooty ones usually say, with great enthusiasm, "Oh, bring in what you're working on. We'd LOVE to see it!" but, I've noticed that when you do their smile rarely reaches their eyes and they are scanning it to see if you used their fabric. Have been in some really wonderful quilt shops but the others are out there, too, so, don't give up on quilt shops.[/quote]
