I thought this was an interesting article about how sewing is making a comeback. Maybe this is why they recruited Marie Osmond, she would appeal to a younger generation. Not just quilters.

One of the hardware department men in our local WM who comes to cut fabric when you ring the bell on the fabric counter told us it is because they do not want to pay people to hang around the fabric/craft department just to cut fabric.
He said now they have different people from the floor area come to cut fabric whenever someone rings the counter bell in fabrics now, and no one staffs the craft department, it is turning into a self-serve like the rest of the store.
I had to show him how to measure the fabric, and use the little trench to cut the piece off the bolt, and he still cut the most ragged line I ever saw. He tried, but it was not good.

I also would not buy because a celeb endorses. I do the consumer reports and budget thing.

Buying online may be a factor for fabric stores closing also. I like to see and feel the fabrics I purchase, but, I have purchased fabrics online also. A fabric store in my area had to move to a smaller shop next door to where she was. Lack of business was the reason. Next, she will have to close.

Glad you like it,I have always been a family car person, My husband of almost 6 years felt I needed to live a little,so he bought me a used Vette. She is not a Sunday Queen, I work volunteer at a thrift store, and she takes there and to my quilting guild,and any place I need to go , My Vette is my only car, My kids said OH My Gosh!!!!, What is an old lady like you doing getting a Vette? My answer was "Because I can". We just returned today from Cottonwood , Arizona, went down Oak Creek Canyon Beautiful place, Stayed in Motel 8, ate at Sizzlers and had the continental breakfast at the motel, What a weekend , It was so beautiful out there, the wild flowers are starting to bloom all over
