    Lucky, lucky you! I have to travel 30 miles to get to a Wal-Mart that still has fabric. If I want JoAnn's or Hancocks it's a 90 mile drive. I'm such a fabricholic though I can't wait for an excuse to take that long trip!

    most of the ones I like are not that far away. It just depends on the fabric that I want.

    granted - if it's linen or wool, those are on-line sources. does that count?

    I'm at least 30 min., to any. We are getting a Joann's in town this summer. Whoo Hooo. It will still be about a 25 minute drive but a new store. I'm way out in the county. There is supposed to be a really neat LQS in a town about 1 1/2 hours from here. I can't wait until it quits icing up so I can go and visit.
