Youza.....you are in for a treat. I live in Gilbert which is South East of Scottsdale and have only been a quilter for a little over a year now. I am still finding great places. One of my absolute favorites is 35th Ave. Sew & Vac (two or three locations throughout the valley (these stores are jammed to the hilt with nothing but quilting cottons. Other equally good choices are Mulqueens (great fabrics at 6.95 a yard) Scrapbooking, Etc., The Cutting Edge, Quiltworks, Zoe's Trunk, The Quilter's Ranch, Sally's Fabrics, A Quilter's Oasis, 3 Dudes Quilting and The Quilted Apple. I'd google Arizona Quilt Shops and then plan for a one or two day shop hop. Most stores are within 30 minutes of each other ( a few a wee bit more).....Bring an extra case or carryon and shop, shop, shop! Ahhhhh! You won't be disappointed.
