Favorite LQS is closing
 

My favorite LQS is shutting its doors at the end of October. The owner longs to be near to her grandchildren an d nobody purchases the shop in the 2 years she was trying to sell. I will be sad to see it go. All of her workers were wonderful, and very knowledgeable, and super sweet. Not all shops have that homelike atmosphere. I really felt like it was a second home. Does anybody else get this sad when their shop closes. Theres another one close by thats nice but its just not the same.

How sad! I don't know what I would do if my favorite LQS closed. We are anticipating a move out of state in less than 5 years and I get anxious everytime we talk about the move. I am looking forward to moving to a new city but don't know how I will survive without my LQS!!! (Hopefully they will be online by then!)

Our LQS closed their brick and mortar store about a year ago. They had been in business 42 years. The shop is still online, but its not the same. We miss our gathering place and all our friends. I have to drive over an hour to another quilt shop. I know how you feel and it is sad. I can hardly stand to drive by the empty building and see the For Sale sign.

This a sad occurance that is happening far too frequently nowadays! We MUST support our LQSs! it is so vital that we support local small businesses.

Which shop is this? I am in OC.

It just too sad when a trusted business closes. It feels so personal , and the void from the loss is rarely filled. You have my sympathy , I am not sure what I would do without my trusted rescources.
I am still mourning the loss of my trusted repair shop...

My local quilt shop here in Temecula is closing and just got notice last week another great one in Montclair is also closing......so sad:(

It's the Fabric Patch in Montclair. I wonder who will be getting their large Janome franchise.

I just looked at the email notice I received from them, it is on Arrow Highway in Montclair
