Hi Jackie. There isn't much in LB that I know of. I looked at the So CA Shop Hop and there isn't any quilt shops that came up with my search. My Grandparents lived right along the shore just south of the convention center. Places to go is to the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Queen Mary, otherwise there isn't much to do in LB. Sorry.
I do hope you find the inspiration that I do when I visit this site. And by the way, I got a D in Home Economics!
