    Boo Hoo. Just read this in newest McCalls Quilting magazine, they closed earlier this year, and I only live a few minles from there. Have not been there for awhile and thier closing really has made me sad. They were great!

    Helen,
    I don't know if this will help or not, but there is a new shop at 2500 E Orchard that is open. It's called Snappy Quilts. I wandered in there a couple of days ago and the staff is very nice. The fabric lines are bright and happy fabrics.

    :cry: :cry: :cry: So sad. I used to shop there all the time when I lived in CO. I also made a point of going there everytime I visited. I wonder why they didn't sell it as opposed to closing it completely?

    That's too bad. Did the owners retire ? They also own the pattern and book company POSSIBILITIES don't they ?

    The owners retired and wonder why or if it was for sale. Perhaps inventory made buying it prohibitive. What a loss and I am sad. Not sure of they are still publishing or writing books.
