One quilt shop close to me (over 15 miles) closed because she is designing online now, and another one ( 28miles) is closing because the owner is getting married and can't find anyone who wants to buy it. I heard that there is one opening in that town, but am not sure. I try to support the closest one to me ( 7miles) but she doesn't have much to chose from. Most of her fabric is $8-$9 a yard and she has a long arm quilting machine that she rents out for $35 a day for customers to quilt their own quilts. But she said no one has rented it in a while and her business over-all is down. Our drug store has a great selection of fabric and I buy a lot there. I am hearing more and more that quilters are using their stashes more and no one around here is selling much.
