I love to go to fabric stores when I'm on vacation - fabric is my #1 favorite souvenir. I used to buy my fabric almost exclusively online, but lately all the online store prices are going up so much that the brick & mortar stores are looking a lot more competitive. I've been going to the local stores more often, which is probably a good thing. Although I must say, I still love shopping in my PJ's at 3 AM when I can't sleep! My insomnia puts a lot of money into other people's pockets, LOL.
