I am so sad, from the sounds of things your Hancocks are like ours used to be. We have two of them in our area. Its so sad, I loved those stores and they had a very wide assortment of fabrics, not only quilting but Batiks, and novelty fabrics. I have been in there recently both stores and they have fell apart. Their cotton assorment is almost nil, in fact all thier fabrics are shrinking. I don't know if they are closing or what, but its a shame. I loved going into thier stores, had a way better selection than JoAnns, but then I haven't been a fan of JoAnns since they had a witchy poo of a manager. I wrote the company and complained, and they didn't even respond. So that sold me off them.
Anyway its sad.
