There is a Joann's an hour from me, a WalMart, half hour, and a raved about middle of nowhere shop with 5,000 bolts to choose from a half hour away. I heard quilters come from far and wide to visit. I actually used to live fifteen minutes from the last one, and a neighbor and friend worked there so she could get a fabric discount. At the time I thought she was just some superwoman who could do neat crafty things I wasn't capable of. We both had 3 small children then. Now I am afraid to go see it, for fear I would go crazy with my pocketbook! I know it's only a matter of time...
