We only have one exclusive quilt store in our area along with Joann's and Hobby Lobby and Hancocks that sells fabric and some quilting supplies. The quilt shop we have is nice, but the people who work there aren't very friendly. I finally found a girl the other day in there that would give me the time of day and seem enthusiastic about what I was trying to do and direct me in the right direction. It's like they don't care if you come in there or not and I don't very much for that very reason.

Joann's is about 8 miles south from me.
There's a fairly good LQS about 5 miles east of me and another LQS, not as large, about 8 miles the other direction.
I wish they were in the same general direction then I could visit all three on the same day.
Hancocks closed about 6 yrs ago. I liked them best.
