In my area, SF East Bay, Fremont through Hayward, Joanne's is closing, Walmart has downsized sewing dept, Michael's is closing (not much sewing anyway, but crafters are now in trouble too). We have no quilt shops. Unless I drive far, I'm stuck with online shopping. It's ok, but only if I don't need to match colors. I don't like it. (same with online clothes).
