Joann's is the only place I can buy fabrics, patterns, notions, etc. There are no quilt shops (which are probably too expensive for my budget anyway), so I don't really have a choice. Joann's is it, regardless of any faults I may find there. I simply don't know what I would do if they closed. I won't buy fabric online because the colors aren't true on my screen and I can't feel or see the quality. I would really be at a total loss. I don't care who owns the store, just don't close up shop!
