Just hope they bring back the great line of Cranston fabrics. Looking forward to it!!!!!
Thanks for the heads up!
Yes, it WAS a big mistake to take fabrics & notions out of the stores, when they were the ONLY local source for many ... and party goods and scrapbooking are NOT selling like they expected. LOL Scrapbooking has peaked and sales have dropped, while sewing and quilting continue to GROW in popularity. :)
