Where in Clarksville? I lived there for 18 years. I lived across the river in Cumberland Hts.

Hello, I am a new quilter living in Cumberland Furnace, Tn., but I grew up in Hendersonville! It has changed so much from the 70's and 80's. Where do you buy your fabric?

I live in Del Rio (near Newport) and buy all my fabric at Holloways in Cosby and the Cherry Pit in Sevierville--both are great shops. I'm so glad to hear JoAnns will soon be in Sevierville, though, because I like to shop there for everything else. And I'm also looking forward to the Knoxville quilt show. The first quilt show I ever went to was the show in Pigeon Forge earlier this year and I was in awe of the beautiful quilts I saw there.

I sooo envy you guys going to the Knoxville show...:sad: Can you take pics?

There may be more, but these are the shops I know of:

Hancock's on Brainerd Road

Lavender Lime on South Terrace - http://www.lavenderlimeinspires.com/

Hobby Lobby at Hamilton Place Mall (also a HL in Hixson and Dalton, but Hamilton Place has the largest store)

And I believe there's a shop in Ringgold (GA) called Sew-Bee-It. I've never been there, but they have a website. It looks like a neat store. http://www.sew-bee-it.com/

As far as which is the best, Lavender Lime is a nifty store. Hobby Lobby's probably got the largest selection, though. And Hancock's is okay overall, but the store is rather messy and the aisle are very narrow.

I heard that we're getting a Joann's this fall, but I don't know the exact date or where the store will be located.

Cleveland, TN has a small quilt shop called Hyderhangout downtown at 151 1st St and Church St -opened a couple of months ago if your in the area please stop by and see the owner Susan Hyder-Moosegirl

I moved from Sarasota, FL to Cleveland TN. Moosegirl

I quilt on Tuesday mornings at Little Blessings Quilt Shop in Crossville. Little Blessings is just off I-40 at Exit 317. Julia teaches classes, then we work on our quilts together.

I've visited Little Blessings a couple of times on the way home to Fayetteville after being in Harriman for Christmas. I have always enjoyed looking around - different things displayed differently, you know....and always made a few purchases. I wish it were closer. A girl I work with has a quilting sister who lives in Franklin, Tennessee, and her sister absolutely fell in love with the Little Blessings shop when she stumbled across it on her way back home from Gatlinburg a year or so ago.

And somebody mentioned a shop in Harriman - didn't know there was one and will have to try to find it next time I'm there.

Loose Threads is the Shop in Harriman. she has recently expanded to include more room for classes.

she has a website you can check out, too.
