Woo Hoo, Mim! Give a shout as you go by - maybe I'll hear it!
In Raleigh, there are two that I can think of:
ArchAngel (N. Raleigh)

Bernina World of Sewing (NW)

There is also a JoAnn's near ArchAngels, but it is awful!
In Cary (a suburb-that-wants-to-be-a-city SW of Raleigh) you will find my fave LQS: Etcetera Crafts
226 E. Chatham St. in Cary, 467-7636.There is also a JoAnn's there on Walnut St. that is much nicer than the other one.
I don't know what's in Durham, but in Carrboro (S of Chapel Hill, which is S of Durham) is Thimble Pleasures

and Mulberry Silks. This store is not a quilting store, but a high-end fashion fabrics store, however, they do have some wonderful cottons there, and the mall it is in - Carr Mill Mall - is a converted tobacco warehouse, and pretty cool. The mall also has a great eatery - Elmo's - and across the parking lot is my favorite rug store - Nomadic Trading Company.
That ought to keep you busy for a while!
