Looking forward to seeing the database evolve and mature. My request for enhancement would be to allow filtering by fabric type. For example, although I love quilt shops it would occasionally be nice to filter them out so I can more easily locate shops that have specialty dressmaking fabrics.

Second attempt to do a search for GA zip code did not produce any result. I will try again later. I tried the search in Georgia. One link in the metro Atlanta is for Christmas Shoppe in Tx.

While we've done our best to make sure the info is current and up-to-date, it's a challenging endeavor. We appreciate any clean up from folks who are "on the ground."

I noticed a number of errors in information - Gingersnap Junction's website listed for Nifty Needle in Ohio and some closed shops (Ohio Farm House). Do you need or want specific feedback on these?

I'm looking forward to shopping at these independent stores. I have a few suggestions about the map/database, though. After I click search, the parameters I entered disappear. It would be nice to retain those in case I want to tweak the search (e.g., same zip but increased mileage scope). I also would like a larger map, a numbered list showing the results (similar to Lowe's store locator), and the total number of results found. I agree with Erin's comments/suggestions, too. Keep up the great work! This is fantastic! I’m looking forward to shopping at these independent stores. I have a few suggestions about the map/database, though.
