OT: JoAnn's

I've always had really, really good luck with TSWLTH which is about 20 minutes from my house. Quit going to the local one cause it was soooo cramped with crap. Well imagine my surprise when I went to get fabric for the Baseball swap to find out that they had closed. I refuse to go into the other one.

Well, decided I would try to new Hancocks and boy am I in love. Had to go in yesterday looking for fray check in a spray can. Manager stopped what she was doing and went and personally got me a can. That was the only thing I was going to buy but decided since she was so nice, I bought the next set of fabrics for the 2nd half of the baseball swap.

Post what stores and fabric and we can help you look. JAF does not hire people for their knowledge of fabrics and crafts, although some very k nowledgeable people gravitate there. They pay their employees very little and keep them parttime so they don't get benefits. One interesting thing about the store near me is that most of the full-time employees are male and know nothing about their merchandise.

L>I must start this with a confession! I always sorta wondered why ya'll

Tell us the stores. Maybe someone lives near one and will look for you.

I'm near San Mateo, CA and Redwood City, CA Joann's stores. I visit my family often and they have several Joann's in San Jose, CA.

That's very sad. I'm sure a lot of other companies use that same tactic. I posted the stores in my response to Marcella.

Thank you, Linda

Tricia, I wish I could get to that end of town to check this out for you, but I'm doing a *lot* of babysitting for my little DGSs these days

-- I'm lucky to get to the supermarket down the street.

Howdy!

Pantego? That's up the road from me, about 5 miles (it's actually inside the city of Arlington). I could go check, tomorrow.

Ragmop/Sandy --w/ a handful of JoAnn coupons

I completely understand. I just offered it out there for anyone who might be close enough to look. I appreciate the thought.

I was teas> >

Well, if you were going anyway!!! or if that will entice you to use your coupons....

The fabric is really > Howdy!

Thanks for understanding! and that weekend in Vegas could also include some "regular" quilt shops -- there's one just a few minutes from my house, and I could be convinced to make snacks.... ;)

LOL Down here we have the same problems it seems with our SWLTH (Spotlight). My DSM is always cussin' and screamin' and yellin' about how she hates the ones near her. Me? I adore my two closest ones, and the one

1/2 hour away which is like one of those places you go when you just wanna rummage and fossick.

And now that my local one is beautifully refurbished and stocked with more more more - I'm excited!!!
