we entered a quilt store in our home town after being gone for about 2 years. they still remembered us! there is plenty to see. the staff is knowledgable, but they don't hover. the lighting is good. the aisles are clear. there are fabric bundles and other things on the lower shelves above the fabric. there are many patterns and samples made up and displayed nicely in the store. there are plenty of notions and templates. it is just a wonderful place to be. i would recommend it to any one. (psst - it's in columbus, ohio)
