Ours closed some time ago.... and the nearest fabric supplier to me is about 30 mins drive. I got to know the owner quite well at our LQS a real sweetie. Fabric is expensive here and she just wasn't making enough to cover rent etc. and some days she would only get one or two customers. It was sad for her, but she really needed to close before it got too stressful and affected her family life. She said the nicest thing was most of the people understood what was necessary and wished her well....but unbelievably, some people got quite sniffy about it. Small business is hard work, and when times get tough they are the first to feel it.
