I live in a small country village, picture us as the hub of a wheel. The spokes are outlying towns, 20 - 35 minutes away with quilt shops in 4 directions. With the rising price of gas and quality fabric prices going up, it would really save me to shop online. I try and stay within the fabric collection when ordering online. I'll have to admit it is hard to match online when you're trying to use fabrics to go with your stash. I like to support my LQS's, I'm afraid if we don't, they'll be gone. Then I won't be able to go get a fabric fix, feeling and eyeing the gorgeous selections.
