Hi, the info about Joann's is Joanne Fabric, a fabric company which did close, Not Joann Fabric storees, Yes, the amount of Kepsake Calico has changed, there are several groups of very vibrant colors which have a good "hand" Coupons do come in very handy for those.

It's not a Superstore but it's good & used to have a very nice supply/variety of Keepsake Calico's. Now, they have about 1/2 of that & the rest is Debbie Mumm & other 'designer' fabrics at 2-3 times the price! What a bummer! :? I have bought some at WalMart & if you look around, they have some very nice stuff! I only buy fabrics on sale at the quilt shops because it's so expensive so if Wal Mart and Joanns go out of business, I'm sunk! :( I hope it's not true. Joanns just about has a monopoly here in Mi since Hancock is gone. Good buying! Happy quilting! :D
