    One Christmas item as well aas other holidays that is hard to find is the preprinted vests that are sold in 1 yd lots. I have made about 40 of these with lots of little details. This must be the reason Joanns doesn't carry them anymore.

    JoAnn's Fabrics was bought for $1.6 billion dollars by a private equity firm, Leonard Green & Partners. Their shares of stock went from $15.25 to $60.87. What's that tell you.

    One Jo-Ann was loaded with Christmas fabric and the other was sickly, at best. I have purchased all of my Christmas fabric there and online and tomorrow will go see the sale at my local quilt shop. Then I hope to begin stash busting.

    I want to JoAnn's to get Christmas fabric for next year. Maybe six bolts were left. Nothing I wanted. I, agree, you have to purchase when it's Christmas in July!!

    I, certainly, hope with the buy out that JoAnn's fabric selection will be better and bigger. With our Walmart store no longer stocking fabric, it's slim pickings. I was told at LQS that fabric will be going up to at least 70 cents more per yard in January.

    I worry that the buyout may close our smaller store.

    Our local JoAnn's still has a great selection of Christmas fabric. I have noticed something odd though.....when some of you on the Eastern side of the US were talking about a sale at JoAnns, I went to ours and no sale here. You would think they would all be the same. We just have a small store and for awhile it did seem like there were more crafts than fabrics but they have been stocking the fabrics again.

    Joann was almost right at my back door. They moved further away so can't get there as often. Didn't have so much in Christmas fabric last month. Miss them being close. Now will have to make a list before going lol Bad for them, because name any given day and I could spend $$$ there. Good for me, I suppose now I can "think" before impulse buying.
