Ummmm... maybe just to be safe I should post the usual disclaimer:

"We are in no way affiliated, associated, or connected with Jo-Ann Fabrics or Jo-Ann Fabrics and crafts."

Though, to be sure, we appreciate their support! :D

Congrats:):) To a fellow New Yorker

Call and ask them to put the '.com' next time to make sure people get to you. I'm sure it was an oversight this time.

Nan, maybe it's the carma of your enviable business! I love your website! Just recently have been able to quilt again. You can bet, I will be a new customer as quickly as I can - and I am excited about all the beautiful fabric you have. As soon as I figure out which Hoffman holiday fabric I want, I'll check into what you plan to carry. Good luck to you and your store. May you find 2011 a wonderful year!

I'm afraid to write and thank them.

The reply might be from a lawyer, for all I know! :shock:

ghostrider 01-29-2011 11:00 AM

Nice of them to do a PSA for you...sure can't beat the price, right? :D

Blue's quilting mama 01-29-2011 11:00 AM

Glad you noticed the advertisement...I love the fabrics that I ordered from you!

Did they ask permission to use your name? I saw that and didn't even make the connection. :roll: :lol:

sandpat 01-30-2011 06:36 AM

How nice of them! Saves you a bundle!

rosalyne 01-30-2011 08:03 AM

Coool!!!

Lori S 01-30-2011 08:25 AM

I saw the ad and immediatley thought of you. Makes me wonder if there is a service mark infringement issue.

quilter1943 01-30-2011 08:26 AM

I love the patriotic fabric you're getting in - the navy and white prints. Fabulous!!

sewjoyce 01-30-2011 09:00 AM

I'm not going to worry about it. Unless they tell me we can't use our own business name... THAT I would worry about!

quilter1943 01-30-2011 09:42 AM

Is this the first time they have used it?

Quiltbeagle 01-30-2011 09:47 AM

And they're selling your fabric at 30% off !! LOL
