I wish we had quilt shops around here. I want to move. lol lol All the fabric shops we have here is Wal-mart and Joann's. So on line is always good here to but then you have to wait for the material to come. Guess I have no patience.

i love fabric Depot also. I've bought fabric online and in the store. Wonderful selection. I also love Zooks in Intercourse, PA. The prices can't be beat.

CKCowl I've been to the Quilt shop in IndianRiver MI and it is everything you said it is except it is about 4-5 hours from where I live. When we get up to the upper of MI I like to stop in there. I like going to Sisters in Quilting in Marlette MI. Brett and Deb are wonderful and their shop is so inviting. When we go visit my MIL in Alma MI I have my hubby stop at Seven Sisters Quilt shop in CArson City. It too is a great shop. I only wish we had some of these closer to me.

Only one privately owned quilt store here. The others are from 40 - 100 miles away, (the closest). No fabric stores at all here or closer than 150 miles away. We do have a Walmart with fabrics here and that's it.

REtired Fire Chief I've been to those stores too. We have many wonderful shops in Michigan. A couple of summers ago my hubby & I did a quilt tour through MI. At every shop we stopped I took a pic of the inside of the store and the outside with their sign and put together a virtual Power Point shop hop for my guild. It was alot of fun and the members enjoyed it.

I also live in the Maryville area and I love Pappy's too. I like Mountain Creek in Greenback too, but they are very limited in space. But they do have a nice selection and very good pricing.

My favorite online store is Missouri Star. I love the store, the huge selection and the wonderful people that own the shop. Their employees are so helpful and the friendliest you will find anywhere. If you ever get a chance to visit the shop, you won't be disappointed! Great selection and huge selection of fabric.

Mine is whatever store I am in at that time. Living near Indianapolis, there are lots to go to. Quilt Plus is running over with fabric. Quilt Quarters is big, The Back Door is fun, and when I can I drive over to Threads of Time. There are in Danville, Ill. Then I have to stop in Rossville. My husband will drive me anywhere I want. Sometimes he picks the stores he finds on line. The other day we drove down to Bloomington.

I love Mikkers Dry Goods in Charm ,Ohio and Sue is a wonderful helper if you have questions.

I live in the area and go to MidSouth sewing. They have classes and sewing groups and clubs. They are very helpful and have wonderful customer service.
