I have never had access to a Hancocks store until last Dec. when I went to MS for Christmas and boy, did I buy the fabric. I was in Hog Heaven. Then we heard that they were closing, so the mark downs started then and we went back for more. I do have a JoAnnes but I have to get out on the killer highway to get there, so don't venture that far very often. I wait, hoping my daughter will ask me if I want to go with her. That doesn't happen often either.
