I've been to both shops many times. It's a shame the one in Plattsmouth is closing! It's a very large, well stocked fabric shop, but times are changing and so is the ability to buy "stash". I'm afraid we're going to see lots more of these businesses being forced to close their doors. I know I limit my "stash" shopping and only purchase what I need for a current project. I don't make...per hour....what these shops have to charge per yard. Guess we'll soon be back to making scrap quilts from discarded clothing...........
