Then you can spread out to the north, south, east and west and add more to the numbers. It is nice to have variety and comparison shopping available. I know how lucky I am, 5 quilt/fabric shops are within 1 mile of my home.
My sister and I are driving about 7 hours to come to your fair city to look at fabric stores this weekend. I can hardly wait to get there. I have pouring over my books and magazines for the last 2 weeks just trying to get some kind of idea of what I want to sew next. You are so fortunate to have so many choices so close. We have a small Joanns and that is it. Anything else and you have to drive about an hour to shop.
