I don't spend as much time at Joanns, Hobby Lobby or even at quilt shops like I used to do but I hit Joann's for notions(mainly needles), rotary cutter blades, books, cotton yarn when the knitting/crochet make dishcloths 'bug' bites me, and I hit the place HARD when I was doing I Spy quilts for kids in the family- quilt shops had some novelties but TONS of kid novelties at Joanns as well as the fleece I used for the backings. I also buy batting and muslin for string quilts
