Funny, Fabric Depot in Portland is my favorite FABRIC shop, but I don't regard it as a QUILT shop. They usually have only a couple of quilts displayed, no classes for quilters, none of the vibe of a LQS, only the items for sale. (But what a selection!!!) To me, a quilt shop is more than that. I get inspiration from seeing the quilts on display, the sales staff understand quilting, there are classes for quilters... For LQS, I love JanniLou in Philomath OR and the Finally Together (in a new location) in Lebanon OR. We also have a wonderful though very small LQS in Albany, the Quilt Loft. All of these are run by quilters, for quilters.
