I only knew of a Joann's that was 2 1/2 hours away. I checked the site to see if there was one closer and there is! only about 40 min in the same town as the Hancocks and also my daughter is in college there! Only thing is, it doesn't open until May 20th! But it will be opening (happy dance). We only have one small fabric store here in town so more options is fabulous:)
