Issue for me is that I'm not a 'stash' buyer. I only buy for specific projects. When we were in NM last fall I went to every LQS that I could find. Bought a couple of cute fat 1/8 packs of very localized fabric. Bought a couple of stencils. Saw some absolutely AMAZING fabrics. Most of the places I was in did not maintain an online shop but would do phone orders. Usually I just buy gagets or notions when I'm travelling.
