I am wondering if they will bring it back in certain areas and not in others. We have many places to buy fabric in my area, so perhaps their sales were not what they needed to dedicate that much floor space for fabric. One store has none any more and another has a very limited amount. it all boils down to their sales, I am sure. We HAve the wonderful Fabric Depot (Fabricdepot.com) , large JoAnn's and probably more quilt shops than many other areas of the US.
