Any of the quilt stores in Alaska are happy to ship to people in the remote areas. We have a very talented and large group of quilters in this state. The best advise I can give you is get to know the people in the area you are going to. A friend of mines husband worked in St. Mary's as a village safety officer and loved it. He basically was adopted by some of the elders there and they made sure he was taken care of as he did them. If you alienate yourself from the people you will find it can be hard. There is a lot of tradition in that area and as long as you respect them, they will respect you. Will gladly help in any way I can if you need something sent. Just send a PM.
In this state we depend on each other and we make do or find a way. Yes it can be a hard place to live but as a transplant I can tell you it is what you make it. Enjoy it, the scenery, wildlife and people are one of a kind.
