Last ditch effort; anyone interested?

Unless you offer classes or long arm services, a small local quilt shop will have a very difficult time surviving. They can not buy in quantity so they have to charge such a high price for their fabric and most folks won't pay it. Sad but true.

You are all so right. I live in a suburb of Chicago and one by one all of the quilt shops around me are closing. Some because the owner wants to retire but mostly it is a financial thing. Makes it really difficult when you feel like browsing
and getting new ideas. Unfortunately going to the same quilt shop to get inspiration does not work. One reason I enjoy the Quilt Board.
