I think every LQS has a personality-depending on the owner or the person responsible for stocking the store. As an example we went to two stores on Tuesday-celebrating my birthday. In one store I really connected with the atmospnere and found several things I wanted and purchases 1/2 yard or one yard of each because I know they will just fit in. In the other store the selection was very good and I am sure well coordinated but it was just not my thing and I left without purchasing anything. So, if you can go to other stores or look on line. When I look online I frequently shop by designer name because I have used other things from them and enjoyed them.
