I love my LQS! It's not overly big, but she packs in a lot of great fabrics, she and her staff are all very friendly and helpful. I've taken some classes there, and that's fun. What I find really bright on her part is that once a month, you can walk in and just work on a project; she's there to help and encourage :-) She also keeps a notebook during the holiday season where her customers can make a wishlist and then if a friend or family member comes in to shop...I've made a list and gotten great stuff that I really want two years in a row now :thumbup:
