Fabshophop is a "shop hop" of online fabric stores. You have to register, then each month you get a list of links to participating shops. Click on the links to visit the stores, then find and click on the bunny icon to indicate you visited. Try to visit as many stores as possible because there are prizes, some directly from the stores. http://www.fabshophop.com/

If you Google "Quilt fabric stores Houston", you will come up with several that are inside or just outside the loop. Here is one. I haven't been there, but it looks interesting. http://www.teatimequilting.com/

If you're like me, Sunday is the only day I can shop, and there are only two shops that I know of that are open on Sundays -- Quilter's Emporium in Stafford and Pinwheels & Posies in Dickinson.

Also, Google Houston Quilt Guilds. You will meet quilters at all skill levels, and, depending on the guild, you will get to hear local to nationally known teachers. And most of them have workshops that you can take.

Also, the Houston International Quilt Festival is held here every year, and it's a lot of fun. You can go to the Quilts, Inc. website and download their catalogue. They have classes Monday thru Sunday of the Festival and the Quilt Show opens on Wednesday Preview night.
