Jo-Ann's Fabrics is the only place other than online that I purchase fabric. The small quilt shops are lovely and I enjoy roaming among the fabric, but the prices are ridiculous compared with what I can get online. I'd love to have a shop where I know the name of the people that work there, be able to go in two or three times a month and find new things. There is one clerk at Jo-Ann's that has given me some terrific tips and always goes out of her way to help. We have a craft store which is about a 45 minute drive from my house that has everything you could ever need for a project. I know the folks by their first names, can have a chat while I shop and they make me feel special whenever I come in. I'd like that in a local quilt shop, but so far it hasn't happened. With equilter.com right up the road in Boulder it is hard to not shop online, they have everything and are super customer care conscious.
