Material Girls is at 2617 Alta Arden, just east of Fulton. Nice store,
friendly people, good selection (lots of books and bright fabrics) Phone
is (916)485-4252.
Fifteen miles west on I-80, in Davis, is the Pincushion Boutique. They
claim to have the largest Hoffman selection on the west coast - I could
believe them. Pincushion also has WONDERFUL fat quarter collections
called Sweet Treats. Address is 825 Russell Boulevard, in the University
Mall shopping center. (530) 758-3488.
Tayo's Fabrics in Fair Oaks is also nice.

Uh oh. I'm in trouble. I think I will be visiting the folks (who live in
Carmichael, in Sacramento County) more often.
Alta Arden I get lost trying to find these days but I used to live behind
that mall in Davis (Nice place to visit even without a quilt shop ;-).
For a retro-diner experience, I recommend burgers (whatever kind you like,
from veggie to super-beef), fries, and shakes at "Murder Burger", Olive
Blvd and Richards Blvd. Right near the Central Davis on-ramp to the I-80
freeway back to Sacramento (or to fortify yourself before your S.E.X.).
(waving hi at Loomis, Grass Valley, and even Greenville too ;-)
