I noticed that Fort Worth Quilt Shop was not on your list. I live in BC and have found them so incredible I just wanted to let you know. I order on Friday mornings and it is in Blaine, WA for me to pick up on Monday! And they are so very helpful. Just wanted you to know. Thanks,Lauralyn

That is a terrific roundup! Some I had never heard of – so thank you for the details. I like Missouri Star Quilt. Prices are decent, selection top notch and that daily sale is awesome. Plus their videos taught me to quilt. How better to thank them than to buy. Fabric.com I find to be slow to ship and sorta iffy customer service, but the selection is terrific. They need to work on their website though. So does Joann’s. My two cents. About what it is worth I guess!
Heather says
Thank you Shan. I actually got to meet the gang from MSQ. Such a fun bunch and crazy talented!
Primrose Bohne says
Oh what a great resource. Though a couple that I have looked at came to mind – GStreet Fabrics in Washington, DC., and Sawyer Brooks, (I think that’s the name), I ordered some Ambiance Lining from them. Love your blog.
