Where do you all frequent?
I live in Elk River, and won't go back to Cottage Quilts, because of bad service from (I think) the owner. But there's a great shop just up 169 by Aldi called The Noble Quilter that is the only shop I'll go to now. It's small, but they're so kind and helpful!
I'm glad a looked at all the answers, since I didn't know about The Noble Quilter. I live in St. Cloud and drive thru your town a lot.
Gruber's in Waite Park, a suburb of St. Cloud, is my favorite LQS. It's quite large and if you don't know what you're looking for, you'll be overwhelmed. Then just up the road (94) about 8 miles, in Avon, is Aunt Annie's Quilts and Silks. This is a small shop, but they have some very unusual fabrics. Both have very friendly and helpful staff.
