Sad News for fabric -- not sure how this will affect our ability to find good fabrics.

"Free Spirit Fabrics to Be Shut Down by Coats Effective Immediately"
... including Tula Pink, Kaffe Fasset, Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, and Denyse Schmidt. Another fabric manufacturing company -- closed!

It would certainly affect the designers who had their fabric designs there. I'd think that they would have to find another fabric mfg company to produce their lines. At least that's what I'm hoping!

I think where I shop for my bargains get the ends from Fabric .com. Hope they are able to stay open. They carry Time treasures, R. Kaufman, loralie, Elizabeth Studio,Susan Winget and many more. What is the name of that place in the Carolina's. Mary Jo something? She has lots.
