Interesting comment... my guess is that Cranston never realized that selling to Wal-Mart was going to be damaging, in the long run.

Once Wal-Mart picks up a line of fabrics, LQS's cannot carry it, because they cannot complete with Wal-Mart's prices. So they had to create a new brand, Quilting Treasures, to court the LQS market.

Now, with most of the Wal-Marts out of the picture, Cranston is again trying to market their VIP brand to quilt shops.
