I agree with Cindy, as I livein Garland and I have know that things are closing down all over the place. Times are tough and I'm frugal with my little bit of fun money, so I can understand why there are so many places closing. If it's not on sale, I don't buy. I have been using my scraps and materials people have given me; going to thrift stores and finding nice large pillow shams that I can cut up into pieces or use as a partial backing that's what I have been doing. If it comes to taking $20 or $30 to put in the gas tank to go to school (I'm in college right now) or spending that money on a nice yard or two of fabric, the gas tank has been winning out. It sucks, I haven't been to my LQS, Susies, in months I am very sad to say because Hancock has been having the sales that I can afford.
