My closest LQS is about an hour away. Joann's is about 2.5 hours in another direction.

NOT one...25 miles south is one that I rarely visit due to the cost and bad attitudes, and then there is a small one about 30 miles West that is again, costly and small, so no big selection to work with.
Other than that..it is online or 2 hours to OKcity, 2 hours to Wichita or 2 hours to TUlsa!

25 miles to Chattanooga where there is a wonderful quilt shop - Lavender Lime Quilting - and a new Joanne's. Another 15 miles toward Atlanta there is also a quilt shop called Sew-Bee-It. There is a really poor excuse for fabric Hancocks in Chattanooga but it is really the pits! Unfriendly personnel and more home dec stuff than needed!
Oh yes, a couple of Hobby Lobby stores in Chattanooga as well. Our local Wal-Mart discontinued their fabric last fall and I doubt they will ever bring more than the pre-cut stuff back.
