I drove my lovely wife, QuiltingGrannie,to Mary Jo's Fabric Warehouse in Gastonia, NC, this weekend. Yep, waaaaay too much fabric. I get confused because I am partially color blind. 3 hours at the store, I slept about 45 minutes of it. But. a fun trip and she got fabric and some other items. Remember, if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. <grin>
You are a VERY wise man LMBO

I agree with those who say it's all about how it is displayed. If things are crammed in, willy-nilly, it's hard to feel like you've really seen what there is. Organization makes a world of difference.

Yes, I have been in a shop in Franklin Ten a couple of years ago that had so much fabric in not enough space that you couldn't see half of what was there. It was piled on the floor 2 and 3 bolts deep, you could never see what was in the back. I looked around but didn't like how cramped it was. I only bought a couple yards of fabric but it was overwhelming.
Now I have been in a couple of huge, huge places where most of the fabrics were displayed nicely and you could actually see what was there. It was nice, but I am used to the friendly atmosphere I get at my LQS.

Well welcome to the group! And I know what you mean about Mary Jo's! I've been there and had to ship some fabric home because it wouldn't fit in my suitcase! Originally Posted by MyWifeMadeME

Tootsie, I agree with you. There is a quilt shop nearby that is overwhelming. I couldn't believe that I spent several hours there and walked out with 1 yard of fabric! Everyone who's been there agrees that you have to go there with a mission or an out-of-print fabric in mind.

Yes...where are you? Our guild has a dinner meeting there every September.

Fortunately, as evidenced by my stash, this isn't a permanent problem :lol:
We have a LQS that I just love but I really can't shop there. They have lots of antiques and tables and such. Example: one table will have some bolts underneath it and then on top will be a few patterns, charm packs, layer cakes, etc. arranged all pretty. Looks beautiful but impossible to find anything!!Originally Posted by Tootsie
I visited a quilt shop this week and was so overwhelmed by all of the fabric that I couldn't really "see" what they had! I travel quite a bit and make it a point to find LQSs. Some are smaller and decisions on what to buy are easier. Others are large with hundreds, or thousands, of bolts and I just stand frozen to the spot! I almost feel dizzy! Anyone else experience this?
