We don't have a LQS, but we do have a "sewing center". I go to them for some things, but they don't carry much in the way of fabrics. They tend to concentrate more on local embroiders and selling and repairing sewing machines. It takes up probably 2/3 of their shop. They don't carry quilt batting or machines that are more made for quilters than embroidery. Hobby Lobby isn't great here either. I can get what I need to get by there, but if I really want quilting supplies, I have to drive about 40 miles each way to one of 2 different cities in opposite directions to go to Joann. One of those cities has a couple quilt shops, but one of them basically just closed because the owners retired and the new owners are only going to sell machines. If I want something special, I have to order it online or I can drive 100 miles to Atlanta, and hope they have it.
