I love my LQS, too and try to support her by purchasing my fabrics, patterns and supplies from her. She knows though if she isn't able to get something that I need that I will go on-line to get it. She never makes me feel guilty either. Its the reality of living in a rural area. I live over 90 miles from the nearest big box fabric store and over 50 miles from the next nearest LQS so it is important to me that I send as much business her way as possible. Plus her friendship and quilting knowledge is something that I wouldn't get at a bigger store or on-line.
