Hello Tuesday!
How are you doing today?
I'm not sure I told you this or not so I may be repeating myself. Haptic and Hue have a wonderful podcast called Tapestries for Troubled Times.
For February, the new podcast is The Quilts That Hold the Heart of Hawaii. I know a number of friends who adore Hawaiian textiles. Maybe you do too!
You can find the podcasts here.

Joann news: The company was auctioned off over the weekend. I'm hearing all 800 stores will be closed.
Now the sale must be approved at court on Wednesday. I won't expect the serious sales until after that.
On Monday I was looking at a rotating cutting mat and found it was almost $10 cheaper at Amazon. Crazy, right?
I've been following this story on the YouTube channel, Sewing Report. You can check it out here.

Speaking of fabric, where do you get yours?

Have a safe and happy day!
Currently I'm getting my fabric off my shelves!
ReplyDeleteOh I need to get to Joann's, I'm so sad they are closing, but I know there are bargains to be had.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch all the new fabrics coming out and I frequented numerous quilting stores in my area. Collecting fabric became part of the my quilting hobby. But, I'm on the other side now trying to make good use of what I have. So, I mostly shop in my stash. I will miss Joann's in two ways;
ReplyDelete1. They had great notions and thread.
2. I loved the flannel sales around the holidays.
I remember the demise of other fabric chains -- SoFro in the late 90's, then Hancock's (chain, not Paducah). My most recent Joann's purchase was a bolt of batting that I had delivered. I haven't been in a store for a long time. Most of my recent fabric acquisition has been from estate sales and thrift shops, with splurges at quilt shows. I can't resist bargains so when the Joann's liquidation gets underway I'm sure I'll go to the local-ish stores.
