    Default How far is the nearest quilt or fabric store from you?

    I'm in huge trouble here. lol Two quilt shops and Joanns within a mile from home.

    There is a quilt shop less than a mile from me, but the prices are terribly expensive. The next closest store is JoAnn which is within 5 miles.

    The quilt shop is about 5 minutes from me and I have to tame my cravings at Joanns everyday that I am at work. It is nice to play with all the fabric though.

    The amish fabric store is about 20 minutes from here. They have terrific prices, about half the price of a quilting store. They don't have the overhead. They have TONS of fabric to choose from.

    There is a beautiful quilting shop about 25 minutes the other direction.

    We actually have a quilt shop in our county, its about 7 miles away...
    We DON'T have a variety store, shoe store, wal mart, Mc Donald's. regular clothing store are type super store in our county. I have to drive a minimun of 45 minutes to get anything at a reasonable price.
    The only chain stores in the county are: Longs Drugs, KFC, Burger King, Taco Bell,...oh yeh, they have a Block Buster, but want $4.00 a movie, and a star bucks coffee is open to, but I just like cheap coffee.
    The little movie theature opened up again, about 4 years ago, and they cut it into 3 theatures, haven't been to it yet. The last time I was in a movie theature was to see Back To The Future, in the early 80's?
    Do I sound like, I have a sheltered life? And, this is in California...ha
