I live in a country town of about $25,000 and we are lucky enough to have three quilt shops plus a shop that buys liquidated stock from everywhere - so if you go in there you can sometimes have a real find.
|
We only have a walmart that is about 2 miles from me. All the quilt shops are 35-40 miles+ away. I try to visit several in a day when I go.
|
I have 1 quilt shop, 1 JoAnn's, 1 Hancock Fabric here in NW Louisiana.

Then you can spread out to the north, south, east and west and add more to the numbers. It is nice to have variety and comparison shopping available. I know how lucky I am, 5 quilt/fabric shops are within 1 mile of my home.

I live within a mile of a LQS and a Walmart. I do not drive, so unless I have a driver to reach the others (15 miles or more), I just ride my bike to them.
|
One quilt shop and JoAnn's within 10 minutes. Another quilt shop about 30 minutes away. Everything else is over 1.5 hours away.
|
WM is about 7 minutes away, JA about 11 min. and the LQS perhaps 12 min; going north three/four great LQS are perhaps 45 min away along with JA; going south several LQS and one huge JA. I would really love to give all my business to the closest quilt shop, but they just don't seem to care. Have to struggle to get classes and the new fabric is not there.

You are very lucky to have that many, I think I have about 5 within 20 miles.
