I wasn't surprised when I saw the announcement. Wages/benefits, energy costs and other overhead are driving closings of businesses or the cost up. Only time will tell if Amazon continues to sell quilt fabric.
Whether or not there is fabric on Amazon won't just depend on Amazon selling fabric.com fabrics. Many of the fabrics on Amazon are sold by other sellers so if they keep selling there, then there will keep being fabric sold on Amazon whether or not Amazon is selling it.
