OK... not much personality. but did get a few questions answered.. and.. my fabric needs were too retro.. :(

still have a few purchases for dolly days and very disappointed.

thank you all for your encouragement ! still working on the finished product.

A very disappointing trip to my LQS. . Lots of arrangements to get there too.

I am sorry that your LQS did not have what you wanted. They stock what they think will sell with their customers. You made a contact and found a resource for information. Maybe next time will be more productive as you have an idea of what they carry.

Great reply there ! thanks ! yes, that is so true !

Absolutely! The shops in my area cater to the customers they have. I know the one I prefer, because she has the same eye and taste as I, and she lets the other stores carry a totally different selection of products....more choices for everyone!

I wish I had a LQS. 50 min. drive one way for me to buy fabric. Thank goodness for connecting threads and fabric. com.

I do a lot online shopping ! a non-driver.. and happy to have UPS ! ha ha

Actually, my preferred LQS is about that distance...

LOL... my preferred LQS is in Maine... and I live in FLORIDA. No joke. I only visit my home state of Maine once every 2 years or so. You KNOW I hit that LQS! (I'm on their emailing list, and I email them back with purchases, which they hold for me or mail down to me.). More $ that way, but worth it to me to support my favorite LQS.
