I live right between 2 Joannes, 45 min each way. I noticed that one of them is leaning more towards crafting supplies but still had a lot of fabric. The other Joannes is called a Super Joannes and they had tons of quilting/sewing items along with their craft supplies. Hope that doesn't change. Now about the prices.....wow! They really went up on fabric, batting, & thread!
Sorry your trip was disappointing; hopefully with enough requests they'll bring back quilting supplies.
