Cranston also makes Quilting Treasures fabrics and QT VIP, which are are said to be sold exclusively in independent quilt shops, although they also sell in large online stores that aren't independent and are part of chains, such as fabric.com and Hancocks/Paducah. They are mostly focused on licensed and novelty fabrics.
