I haven't read all of the posts from Tennessee, but I live on the Tennessee River (aka Fort Loudon Lake) in Friendsville, TN. There are some great quilters in this area and I'm trying to learn from them. I have been to Loose Threads in Harriman, Pappy's in Maryville, the Fabric Store in Tazewell and would like to visit several more in the area. Hobby Lobby in Maryville is also a favorite stop.
