The few we had in the Dallas area were, unfortunately, severely damaged or destroyed by a tornado that hit the fashion area last month. :(<br /><br />On a lighter note, I enjoyed your post (as always) and I'm going to go check out those patterns you mentioned (as if I need more patterns!)<br /><br />~ErynEryn // StyleSewMe.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240357822862995735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-23773646676978671682019-11-03T20:54:55.244-05:002019-11-03T20:54:55.244-05:00I am in Oregon and other than a few quilting shops...I am in Oregon and other than a few quilting shops we just have a Joann’s and about 45 minutes away a Hobby Lobby. I am not sure where my closest independent fabric store is , possibly Portland which is about a 2 1/2 hour drive. Somehow I have a stash anyway but there’s nothing like shopping in person or being able to take a class that isn’t over the internet. Kudos to you for steering people in the direction of this business as it will need people to support it. Sadly I am real far away.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200577910464442478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-46607007851327414202019-11-03T19:19:04.866-05:002019-11-03T19:19:04.866-05:00I totally understand.

I'm really not a craft store afficiendo and my WalMart's fabric section sucks...so that just leaves Hobby Lobby locally. Thank goodness I work in NYC in the middle of the garment district!

Locally there is Walmart (where I do sometimes find some surprisingly nice fabric) or quilt shops. So much of my shopping is online and I miss out on the whole sensory experience that is a wonderful fabric shop.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643107130187891573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-12029381430515064782019-11-03T08:44:21.420-05:002019-11-03T08:44:21.420-05:00I love independent fabric and book stores and some...I love independent fabric and book stores and some of my best travel experiences have been seeing what other cities have to offer. I am extremely blessed to live in Denver where we have Fancy Tiger and Colorado Fabrics, as well as Elfriede's in Boulder. If you're ever in Colorado, be sure to check them out.

JoAnns everywhere and nothing else. Enjoy the variety of stores while you can. I buy most of my fabric on line now but I miss being able to touch and see the fabric.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471621304363943055noreply@blogger.com
