Thread: No more magazines at Hobby Lobby?

Same here in Corpus Christi but only very few. A few in the area of the craft/hobby but still just a few.

I have frequently purchased magazines at Hobby Lobby-with my coupon if I didn't find some other treasure to use it on. If this is true, I will be disappointed. Because so many items that I buy are already discounted I use my coupons for Pellon brand webbing for applique, special interfacings and interliings or batting on the roll.

I'll be going to HL today...will check...last time I went...about three was ago...they were removing the Sizzix fabric dies-boo-hoo...and now mags!

In a HB last week, and a lady was filling a cart with them and the selection left had nary a quilt magazine. Now I am guessing she was taking them all away.

Our Krogers and HEB have done the same. Both only have 1 or 2 quilt mags at most, they used to carry at least half a dozen before ... Target has APQ but that's it.

I was at Joann's and HL yesterday and did not see a magazine. HL said they discontinued carrying them. Called J's and they said they moved the magazine rack to the aisle in the checkout line. Who wants to try to find a magazine while people are trying to get by you to go thru the line? It is so narrow now with all the candy and basket filler items. Then, if you do find one, hopefully the subject you want isn't on the bottom row, and want to buy something to make the item in the magazine, you have to plow back thru the line to get back to the store, etc. Wonder what marketing genius thought up that one??!!

A man of course!!!
