Default Quiltworks Store-Houston-Closing

Took a quick trip to Houston for my DH woodworking show. While he visited with the plaid-shirt guys, I snuck off to go shopping! My first stop was Quiltworks in northwest Houston. Has anyone been there? The website promised a great selection of fabric, notions and Accuquilt dies. Shocked to find out that they are in the throes of a 35% going-out-of-business clearance sale. I have witnessed many of my favorite shops go under and It makes me sick. It looked like a nice place in a high traffic area. The owner told me that their best, loyal customers lost everything in Hurricane Harvey and the store never recovered from that. It breaks my heart to see quilt stores selling everything including display racks. It's an equally difficult reminder that the financial devastation affected so many peple and businesses for so long.
