Speaking of JoAn's
#52
Count your blessings that you live 45 minutes from JoAnn's. The closest one to me is in Las Vegas...2 1/2 hours drive on mostly 2 lane roads. It is a treat to visit my daughter in Phoenix and hit the JoAnn's there.
I've had good luck buying from online stores. One is located in my town and she has a fabulous selection. Her website is havasuquilt.com. This weekend she is having a 20% off sale on books and patterns and has sale fabric that is really nice. Her fabric is always top quality. Let her know I sent you if you order anything. I don't get a commission, but I think it is important she knows we are supporting her.

My local Joann's is only about 5 miles away and booming. It's not a super store but I can't imagine it would be slated to close since I've spoken with the manager several times and been told they would like to expand in the area.
I live near Augusta, ME, the State capital, and yet Augusta has no quilting shops. There are two within 10 miles but I'm further north and have one close by and another larger store 60 miles to the north near Bangor, ME.
I buy all my notions at Joann's when they have the 50% off sale. I've been able to buy things I would be able to afford at full price and love the store but I do buy my fabrics at another quilt store further north.

Quiltator,
Go to hancocksofpaducah.com and see their sale fabrics. Also try craftconn.com...I have found some really cute stuff there and the prices are reasonable. Now a days we all need to be looking for bargains. Most of the online stores have clearance fabrics and if you look through them closely you might be able to find what you are looking for or at least add something to your stash.

I'm in FL and our Joanns moved and enlarged. It carries lots of material and several lines they didn't carry before. It's always busy, I can't see it closing anytime soon. I've just started buying material on line, I really like to feel the material, but the stuff I bought was very nice.

Kwhite, Thanks for you kind offer to send me some zippers. I have a supply of zippers on hand but needed a heavy duty brown one about 28 - 30" for the couch cushion slipcover I was making. DH and I were going to pass Joann's anyway so I going there was no problem. It's so nice of you to share your windfall with the quilters on the MB. May in Jersey
