Default Another Quilt Store Closing - we are losing the in person-on site stores

I was so happy to be able to visit Fons & Porter quilt store in Winterset, Iowa last week. This is the store they always mention in their magazine and where you can sometimes catch a glimpse of Marianne Fons.

When I got there, they said everything was 50% off (fabric, notions, kits, magazines, books, etc.). I asked why and they said the store was closing at the end of October.

So sad to hear. They said their on-line store will continue to operate, so that's good.

I am one who loves to touch the fabric and see it in person. So sad that this may be the "way of the past".

Sorry to see another LQS one go by the wayside.
