I know that there do seem to be a lot of quilt shops in AK. My husband's dad's place is near Talkeetna, AK and I was there in May. One day I went into the town and found in one of the souvenir shops, a bunch of alaskan themed fabrics--beautiful! And a lady was working the fabric area. While I was choosing a couple of fabrics, a group of ladies came on up and also started looking. I think a cruise tour bus came up (to view THE mountain) that day.
Then, I went down to Wasilla and found Sylvia's and bought a bunch more...really quite a bit. Then, I found the one in Palmer and found a couple more beautiful fabrics to buy--designed by someone from Anchorage. I only made it to those three shops, however. I was afraid to go in anymore!
