I'm moving to Idaho! Well, maybe not... I don't think I could handle the cold weather.

We have two quilts shops in town and a couple of other sewing/fabric shops, plus Joann's, Hancocks, and Hobby Lobby. Our Walmarts (all 4 of them) do not have fabric.

It is 10 miles to my nearest LQS. The nearest WM w/fabric and Hobby Lobby are 60 miles. There is also a fabric store in the same town as WM & HL, but rarely go there - it's $$$$ and not very friendly.

There are five quilt shops within a half an hour drive from my house, and like yours, each has its own specialty, but all have friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. I feel lucky in that department! There are also at least two JoAnns within 30 miles, maybe more. And I believe there may be a couple more quilt shops within an hour drive. Yup, it's quilt haven here:)

You are very lucky!!! No Joanns, no Hancocks, no LQS, no Wal-Mart. The closet would be 400 miles, the fabric district in Tokyo!!!! Thank god for the Internet!!!! Two more years and we will be back in the states!!!

Nearest quilt shop is about 2 hours away. We do have a walmart in town and a Mardens (salvage store with a great fabric selection)

I live in Lancaster County, Pa so I can't even begin to count the number of shops near me.

We have a small quilt shop in our town, maybe 800 sq. ft., other than that the closest quilt shop is 80 miles away, Joann's is another 20 miles.

am lucky to have a vey small lqs here in beautiful downtown seward, alaska, and more 90 miles across the peninsula and up in the big city, 120 miles away are s'more! but, now that i don't drive too musch any more, why , i let my fingers do the walking and visit all those online shops!

I only have one not so wonderful shop about 30 miles away, another tiny, but Ok in a pinch shop about 15 miles away...and NO Joanns, or Hancocks.just a crappy old hobby lobby with icky fabric here in this town...

70K people and NO place to buy good fabric...have to drive 2 hours to Wichita or 1.5 hours to OKcity!

I prefer to shop online or in TX...

I'm about 40 miles to small quilt shop,(not friendly) WM, Hancock about another 30 miles. Do alot shopping online.
