I don't know what has come over me today, since I have never posted anything like this before. I was just talking to an owner of a quilt shop...and things are not going so well for her in this economy. It wasn't what she said, it was more of what she wouldn't tell me. For her privacy, I will not mention more, but I was thinking all it would take is a few more customers to buy something each month. So I guess I am saying, go buy more fabric from you local shop, unless you have too much. I am sure this little quilt shop is not the only one that is in trouble.

Many small businesses of all sorts are having slow times lately. The lady at the boxes and packing materials shop we visited yesterday was commenting on being bored because so few people had been in now that Christmas is past.

They have a website, but you can't buy anything on it unless you call it in. It is also very limited on the selection. I think most of the business is instore.
I would rather not publish the name of the shop for her privacy even though I know it would help.

It's sad. I'm a scrappy quilter and use all my scraps and are always on the lookout for more. I like to be "green" and truthfully, I guess I'm cheap. Quiilt store fabrics are so expensive and as a senior I just can't justify the cost.
