I just live about 25 miles from the big store advertized in alot of quilt books called. FABRIC SHACK, it is a nice store but the owner (well lets say i cant print what i think of him). His daughter used to have a small fabric shack store in our town. She even quit working for her dad many years ago.
He finally updated the store. It has very small windows. you have to go clear thru the store to the front to see the real color. He finally painted the walls white. It helps alot. His store is in a small antique town called Waynesville, ohio. He also has a store with nothing but drapery fabric and etc.
If I can't find anywhere else i usually can find it there. There is only one draw back, most don't cost less than $8.00 a yard. The last project I made was a round table cloth and it cost me over $100. for the fabric alone.
