Yeppers! But I want Christmas fabric NOW for NEXT Christmas, because I'm extremely slow. Besides that, I want it on sale. Really cheap. lol.

I just looked it up and they are bring bought out by Leonard Green??? That company is also buying out other companies. Id did not say anything as to a change in the name or closing stores.

Haven't heard anything about a buy out. Both JoAnn stores I visited in the past weeks (in Ohio and No. Carolina) did not have a great inventory, nor much I liked.

I did not see a lot in the Summer at all.

Yup, its true. I don't know if we should be happy or sad., but either way we have no control so we learn to accept. sometimes with tears.

Our local Joannes, which is a large one, seems to be getting less and less fabrics in general and more crafty stuff.

Our Jo-Ann's In Grand Junction, CO went out of business in November, we were told the lease was too expensive in the mall and they would be back in another location soon.
WELL let's hope this buyout will bring them back as many many people did depend on Jo-Ann's from the outlying areas as well as in Grand Junction proper.
The Grand Junction wal mart has cleared out one whole section of fabric, and the other wal mart has a tiny area for the fabric.
So who knows ?

It seems like it's a wait and see thing.

thanks. Had tears tonite.

fabrics are released at least 6 months ahead of any (due/season time)...if the christmas fabric hit the stores in December no one would have time to make anything...so winter/holiday fabrics hit in june/july. by christmas the stores should be about out of any...if they had a decent year and sold out. if their prices or quality are not very appealing they may have lots available left. but usually there are not holiday fabrics that are (re-order-able) in november/december...by then the summer florals are hitting the stores.
