Wow, another quilt shop is closing here in Southeastern Wisconsin. Calico Canvas and Colors has announced they are closing shop. Retiring! They said there have been four quilt shops in southeastern WI that have closed this last year or past winter. Wow. A lot to do with internet sales. Not as many people buying in the quilt shop. Now that confuses me. Why would I want to pay the same price for fabric and pay an additional shipping charge on top of that? I like to feel and play with them lay the fabrics next to each other. The computer never does the colors justice! We don’t have many quilt shops left here in WI! I am going to have to move! Although, I don’t think my husband would like that very much! he-he . So of course I had to do some serious shopping and buy backing fabric for all of the quilts I have in progress! $300+ later! The whole store is 20% off! How fun is that! I keep telling myself to just buy what I need right now because I have to buy backing and you know how much at a time you have to buy for that. Anyways, happy quilting.
