I was sorry to hear some time ago this year that Hancock's was closing all their stores. It did not really surprise me as the store in our city, although a large store, was always disorganized, dirty, and many quilting notions were often out of stock. One example...Olfa 45 mm cutting blades were out of stock for at least 8 months. I know because I visited the store almost weekly for these. Of course I went to my local quilt shop and purchased replacements but Hancock's was usually cheaper. Kelela
