This Happens When Folks Shop Online for everything. The local business folks close their doors. We have a LQS closing it's doors in December. Very sad, but many said they didn't feel it was all that friendly a place to do business. Friendly is almost a must with a Quilt Store. We have several options within under 30 miles. Another might close up shop IF they don't get more business before their lease is up. I tried to spread my spending around the different shops in the area. But alas, I don't spend all that much as I'm a scrap quilter and folks give me lots of scraps.
