Just a note to add that their Keepsake fabrics are NOT anyway related to Keepsake Quilting fabrics. Keepsake Quilting has been trying for ages go get them to remove that name from their line of fabrics as it is very confusing to many people.
Well noted- I should have mentioned that also. I never did associate the two, but I did buy Joann's Keepsake Calico (that is what they actually call it) when I was learning to quilt and not wanting to spend alot on fabric I might mess up on. I agree, it might be confusing to some. I wonder who had the name first????? It is just like my cafe here in Vanuatu, "Jill's Cafe", which I opened in 1993-about 10 years later another cafe opened only a block away, calling them "Chill's", making deliveries of supplies get messed up and tourists asking for one or the other getting dropped off by taxi drivers to the wrong place! The local language spoken here is very difficult to differentiate between the "CH" and the "J" sound in their language, so it is confusing. I know they thought of that when they named their restaurant.
