When I visit my sister in Tuscon, I ALWAYS go to the Quilt Market. Their fabrics are awesome and as someone else posted here, they have lots of finished quilts on display. Just a beautiful place to enjoy. I also like Bella Quilt works.

I'm a Phoenix winter person and my shop hop quilt group's favorite quilt shops are 35th sew and vac on Northern( huge shop), from there go to Quiltz. Across the street from Quiltz is The Patric Lose Studio. Then go down to The 3 Dudes and then on to 35th Chandler ( smaller than 35th North). We always eat lunch at The Paradise Cafe... 10 and Ray Road. Then head south to Tucson. You'll be amazed how many bolts of fabric are at 35th Northern!

I agree with Quilt Market and Quilt Basket in Tucson--great shops. So is the Squirrels Nest in Sierra Vista. Just got a notice that that shop in Benson is closing the 30th of June 
Quiltz and the 35th ave shop in Phoenix are a must see as well as 3dudes.

well, I'm back!! I'm pretty sure I hit every store listed above!! I managed to buy so much fabric that I knew I'd never fit it into my already-stuff knapsack - so I shipped it back to me by FedEx on our corporate account (the bill for shipping should be OUCH-y). Ooooo, I can hardly wait to get the box home and sort through my treasures!!
