I live in Illinois and one of my quilt shops closed after being in business for almost thirty years and the owner had a really great marketing plan and did very well, lots of fabric and patterns and did an online business and every year around the beginning of November did a fabulous open house. When I didn't get my card in the mail this past November, I went their and low and behold she was gone, closed for good and will not re-open. I was devastated. had to find a new quilt shop, I just hate this goverment its killing all the good ones.
