Oh, I'll visit for a bit of fabric, but I do not feel the customer loyalty to them.

Amazing! We try to find quilt shops whenever we go on vacation - and my favorite part is usually the samples, and then just drooling over fabric and patterns!

My favorite shop is The Olde World Quilt Shoppe near Phoenix, AZ. When I walked into this shop, I told myself, if I were to ever open a shop, it would look just like this. I live in NJ, so I've only been to the shop once, but it sure left an impression on my mind. <br /><br />My second favorite would have to be Common Threads in Texas. It's a wonderful shop in a darling town.
