Your Hancocks sounds like the one in Savannah. But I really don't mind the wait. The help is very friendly and helpful.

I had a treat last weekend as DH took me to the Fabric Hut (1/2 hour away). They carry over 6,000 bolts of quilting fabric!
Yes, the common is in the right place! I needed a tissue for the drool (which they had on the front counter!)

Then DH said "I'll be back in a couple of hours" and handed me $100.00 for early Mother's day from him and the kids.

Heaven!

They do offer a complete quilters catalog of fabrics. You can sign up for it. I usually see it at the quilt shows. You will get a subscription if you sign up with AQS.

I loved our Hancock store, then they close the store inside a week. It was gone. I miss it.

Our hancocks just moved into a really nice place, they are going to stock more quilting fabric and yarn. I like all the women that work there, I've taken classes when they offered block of the month and learned a lot. I shop Joann's when I go to South Carolina which I'm going Thursday. We have one 100 miles away it just opened last November.

My sister and I go to their store from time to time. I have pretty much seen all their fabric so I mostly take a look at the thread.

I haven't been in a while because it is so frustrating.



:wink: maybe it is not a tornado...maybe it is the fabric witch....uuuups....

The Hancock's in Hendersonville, TN closed down 2 years ago. Some of their fabric was alright but there was alot of cheap looking fabric. I shop at Joann's occasionally, if I have too, but rather shop at a couple of Quilting shops in Lebanon, Tn. Joann's personnel acts like they wish you would go away, so that's why I prefer private quilting shops.
