MaryJos in Gastonia NC is nice, but different since MJ passed the business over to the kids. They majorly raised prices and decreased quilt fabric/stock (they also sell upholstery and fashion fabrics, so the whole store is not just quilting fabrics). She passed away about 1 1/2 years ago too. Her goal was to always keep quilting fabric affordable to all and when we moved to NC 7+ years ago, the prices were very very good and over time are now just slightly less than a local quilt shop. To me, it's no longer even worth the 45 minute drive....
