we never lost our fabric dept per se. It was downsized quite a bit. We have always had our cutting table. Last time I visited looked like they had expanded the aisle. I asked the woman on duty if they would be bringing fabrics back. She said they are suppose to either the end of the year or beginning of next. I went back in the store a week ago. They had a shelf in the middle of the aisle with some fabric. Looked to be old stuff and nothing I would use for quilting. Guess I will just wait for a few months and check back again
