Roxanne's 

Rosanne's is a wonderful eye-candy shopping experience for all quilters, sewing fans, knitters, and gift shoppers.  I personally don't participate in any of these handicrafts but love stopping into Roxanne's because it is such a visual pleasure, and I love their cards, trinkets, and gifts.
