As stated above, Backyard Fabrics and Murray Sewing Center are great local spots here in west KY. I helped another husband with local quilting spots last year. He was from Vienna, Austria and by the time they got here, there was a party of 6 in the group. Must Stitch Emporium in Paducah is another good spot and it is near Kirchoff's Bakery ( great sandwiches and yummy baked goods)
