daniellern76- I agree....it's a dying deal to bake, quilt, can food anymore...also gardening is not that common among my co-workers! Good for you passing that onto your children.
As for the post....I agree we should support the small shops..but like mentioned above...the cost of the fabric is between $9-14 yd. If they offered coupons like Jo-Anns does I would shop more there! But..I do buy some when I can afford to splurge I guess..the last time I was in there I spent approx $130 and that wasn't enough fabric to make a quilt...only complete what I have already in my stash to finish the quilt. Please understand that alot of folks are still without jobs and the splurging just can't happen sometimes! I would love to only shop my LQS and keep them in business...but as a single person I just can't do it all the time!
