After reading about the posts regarding Hobby Lobby it made me realise how lucky I am to have such wonderful places to shop in the Uk

We have
Hobbycraft 2 miles away & its awsome - sells everything crafty
Akabhan Fabrics - it's like aladins cave !! this is 10 minites away
Markets - sells just about everything also 10 minites away
Everything you need is at these shops
Does anyone else have good shops like these ????

In San Diego, I had EVERYTHING, except Hobby Lobby... There were WONDERFUL quilt stores in every area and my dealer was one of the largest BL/Brother dealers in the country. Here in Texas however, I'm learning my way. :-) Found some good ones and I'm sure I'll find many more! lol

I have Joanns, Michaels and a few quilting shops. And I don't quilt. I miss having lots of chioces. I am in Grand Forks, North Dakota. If there is anyone out there near me lease let me know. I have been having a hard time even finding people to share with. Another reason why I love this site so much. I at least can see and share when AI see your projects.

I have too many stores, way more stores than I have money to spend in them. I go in to buy one thing and come out having spent about $50 (or more.)

sounds just like me - I will go for some thread & come home with new fabric or something that was on offer & couldn't resist ;-)

I have my local Fabric Shop about a 5 minute drive away - but Spotlight is in Newcastle city and the only "large" fabric place around here. There is a Lincraft store on the Central coast - we are hungry for larger stores that carry everything. Maybe one day!

Love and blessings from Chris, Newcastle, Australia

One day you may awake & find a "HUGE" store around the corner (and awake from your dreams) LOL gosh I don't drive so I would be quite stuck if I didn't have my locals
