That does bring back memories. Those were so cool!

Does anyone remember buying fabric from So-fro Fabrics?
I loved SoFro fabrics and also NorthWest Fabrics. Sad that they have passed from existence.
Ooooh! I remember all those things and stores too. I thought Northwest Fabrics became Hancock Fabrics.
