They have taught me a lot and make me want to go back. Plus they have the best chocolate! Seriously I love good service and selection but don't you just love quilt shop owners? They have put their love of quilting on the line to give us beautiful fabric, the latest notions and information you just don't get when you click the button for online checkout. When I visit other towns I visit local shops and usually buy something just because I am so glad they are there. Support your LQS!<br />PinkGrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396185972224985608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290439243686089081.post-83852853098957500482013-01-21T15:56:09.155-08:002013-01-21T15:56:09.155-08:00I am looking forward to the LQS on Thursday.

Such a shame really, but there are hardly any shops in Holland selling the fabrics I love. The reason I love one of the LQS’s is that I’m member of a quilt group there and over the years I followed all the classes and workshops they offered. dutchcomforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986021480546345435noreply@blogger.com
