Hey all - It is great to hear about your favorite shops - now, help us tell the world. If your shop owner or manager joins our site as a Star member, they can post an additional listing in their profile about their shop at no extra chage - what great advertising! Then their shop is in the database. I saw someone ask if there was a shop in in a particular town - the idea for thesse posting is for YOU to go to Search - and FIND A SHOP - complete with Mapquest directions. So. spread the word and get your favorite shops to join The Quilt Show.

There is a new quilt shop here in College Station, TX. It's called LONESTAR QUILTWORKS. Terri and her staff are wonderful. If you ever make it to College Station, TX be sure to stop by her shop. It is located right behind the Walmart in College Station, go down Longmire and pass the Walmart and Alberston's shopping center to Brothers, turn left on Brothers and she is at the end of the strip mall on your left.

She also has a longarm machine if you need any quilting done.

Okay, I have to brag up Gruber's Quilt Shop in Waite Park/St. Cloud, Minnesota. I live in Michigan, but this is my favorite place, and I wish I could go there more. But they send me fabric through the mail (life is good!!!!).

I am totally with you I used to live within an hour of Gruber's miss it a lot when we are on the road or in Texas but I know I can go to their web site and usually find what I need and more-- was trying to pick fabric for a quilt that needed twelve different fabrics and the person the quilt for had black red & purple as her favorite colors they helped my pick from a simply fabulous array of black fabric with other colors and put together a combination that was STUNNING. (EVEN LAURA BUSH HAS BEEN TO GRUBERS) LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT only problem is Ialways over spend my budget there.

Here where I live in MI there are 6 quilt shops within about 30 mile drive... that I actually drive to..... there are about 6 more on the west side but I rarely drive that way. The ones I shop are just on my way to where I go to visit family so they are more convient.

MY favorite is a little discount QUILT shop in the small ( whistle stop) town of Hadley MI. Elaine buys/ orders from warehouses in Tennesse and several southern states to bring back QUILT SHOP QUALITY fabric. She carries all the best name brand fabrics. The fabric is not the newest but my attidude is IF I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE IT IS NEW TO ME! She gets new bolts of fabric every month. It has gotten to the point a lot of quilters come to shop her shop just to see if OLDER fabric they need or want is available. Her prices are great (THIMBLEBERRIES for $5 ) so you have to be quick to get the fabric before it is sold out. I always go to Elaine's Shop first whenever I start a new project.

I can not believe I did not post the name of the shop:

ELAINE QUILTY SHOP on Pratt and Hadley Roads... the only intersection in town......

Stop by if you get a chance the shop and the people are great.

Kathy, Sandy and all the ladies are great! There's classes, contests, BOMs, you name it. And the fabric is to die for!!
As much as I like other shops in the area, I feel welcomed and comfortable when I go to QA.

I go to Rosie's also! I love it there..I've tried Beverly's, but they don't have NEARLY the selection Rosie has & her prices are MUCH better.
She's getting ready to sell fabric on line soon too!

6 quilt shops within 30 miles....... I'm turning grass gree with envy.

I'm in the North-East of England and the nearest decent quilt shop is over 90 miles away. But that one is a cracker. So, if anybody visits the UK, plan in a visit at 'The Bramble Patch' in Northamptonshire. Great selection of fabrics, and other bits and pieces, wonderful workshops with superb teachers, and outstanding and friendly customer service. It's woth the 90 miles drive.
