I try to support my LQS but I buy backing elsewhere because the price is so different. I also have a large stash so I never make excuses. She also knows I go to shop hops and love quilt shows. She hangs my quilts in her store for display when I get my fabric from there but she knows I shop all over the place. I do try to support her shop and I tell everyone about it. She has been in business about 3 yrs and just doubled her size so I think she is doing well!
