    I have done my part to keep all quilt shops going!! To be honest, there are times I do shop via the Internet simply because I can find exactly what I want and the LQS don't carry the item.
    I just ordered from The Hayloft in Morgantown PA (outside of Lancaster) http://www.hayloftfabrics.com Excellent service...I had my order within two days. I have been to the shop...and their notions wall is really wonderful. If you plan a trip to Lancaster...check this place out...and also before you go...check to see if they are offering any instore coupons to be used on your visit.

    I don't look for the economy to even start to show some kind of recovery until the last quarter of 2009.

      I also do alot of shopping online. My LQS usually doesn't have fabrics that I love--no Civil War or 30's--I asked about the 30's and the salesperson said they don't carry them because they're ugly. So I shop for most of my fabrics locally at a fabric store that carries wonderful fabrics but isn't technically a quilt shop. Each January I do some fabric shopping at Road to California quilt show, too. I think, though, that most of us quilters are just LOADED with notions, fabrics, books, etc., and maybe the market is just SATURATED and that accounts for the slow down in buying. I just don't have any more room! :lol: I know the economy is bad, but I think some of the things I mentioned are playing a part in bad news for the quilt shops. I know I don't spend anywhere near what I have been spending for the past 10 years. I'm trying to use what I have. I have ordered a BOM from a favorite online store--I won't have to store alot of fabric when it comes one month at a time! Judy in Torrance
