Yes, OzarksGma, I am thankful for my LQS and was shocked as I saw her inventory go down the last couple months. Yet, I understand that inventory counting is coming right along with the holidays so am hoping the shop stocks back up with many fabric choices after the first of the year. Hopefully, this is not a hint of the lack of business; it would be a disaster for me if the LQS closed.
As for the convenience of pre-cut fabrics, that is something I do not cater to. I love the leftovers for strip quilting charity quilts and my fingers are happy too. Using cheaper fabrics is just too hard on me with cracks, etc. Both ways, I have plenty of fabric to cut with my brand new AccuQuiltGo and the leftovers will make a quality charity quilt.
