I remember the Fabric Place in Randolph. I got a whole lot of my fabric there. Jim used to drive me there and also Saftler's in Whitman.

Is Saftler's still open? Last time I was there (5+ years ago) they didn't have much in the way of quilt fabric. Just wondering.

Saftler's is still open. I have bought a couple of my machines there. They still do have fabric but have cut back. It is so sad to see these places we have know forever having such a hard time.
