Mine used to be It's A Stitch in Humble, TX - they had great kits and patterns and a wide choice of fabrics. Unfortunately about 3 years ago they went to selling machines and only precut lengths of fabric. So disappointing.
My cousin took me to the Pine Needle in Portland, Oregon. I guess it's a good thing I don't live closer because I would probably be there every other day - fabulous selection of everything, great patterns and classes, and a great staff!
