I"m glad to see there are others shopping local to keep the LQS's in business. I try to hit the one near my house regularly and buy *something* even if it's small. They do carry some nice wide quilt backing and some nice batiks so when I need those items I definitely buy from them.
I've also discovered a Bernina store/LQS that while not really close to me has awesome fabrics. I plan to make a trip out there just to shop after the holidays.
