Oahu has one as well. Lived there for 6 years - loved that place! They did have a quilt shop with more traditional fabrics as you'd find here on the mainland.

I miss all my Hawaiian printed fabrics. :cry:

I know where I'm going in the next few weeks. I didn't know about these places. All we have around here is Joanns and walmart. Not to much variety. Not that I need more fabric :-) :-) Ladies I 'M GOING SHOPPING !!

Dallas area stores

There are lots more but these are next to each other except Golden D Or (my favorite !) which is a few blocks away. A lot of them are closed on Saturday, but really worth a trip on the weekdays. Be sure to visit the clearance room at Golden D'Or

Fabric was sold in metric and no one spoke english a real hoot but i found some beautiful pieces
Where is this in Cancun? I will be there in a few weeks and would love to look at and perhaps buy fabrics there.
