LQS closing
 
I just received an e-mail this morning that my lqs is closing - Front Porch
Quilts in Spring, Texas was beginning a liquidation sale today. They are
planning to be a web-based business only. Rats!

Hey, I've been there. That was a nice store. Sorry to hear it's closing.

That's an interesting choice since so many web based fabric stores are
closing. I just got an e-mail from fabricdotcom.com the other day
that they are going out of business.

When did you hear this? I got an email from Stephen saying that they'll be at Sew
Expo here at the end of Feb, but nothing about them going out of business. Can you
forward me the email, please?

Jalynne, Don't think they are the same e-store. I *think* the one Mardi is
referring to is fabricdotcom.com, different place, I hope.

Actually the fabricdotcom.com business is for sale -- the owner wants to
spend more time on other activities! Although she didn't have a
bricks-and-morter store, she did travel to quilt shows around the region and
sold stuff in person there.

Yes, she was meaning fabricdotcom.com, not fabric.com. Fabricdotcom.com is
for sale -- the owner wants more time to pursue other activities.

I'm sorry to hear that! There's one near me closing also. The Rail Fence
in Aubrey, Tx. SIGHSS I really like that place. It was in a two story log
cabin building. They often had the Civil War re-enactors out to visit.

Howdy!
Yeah, I just got word of the Rail Fence's closing sale;
too bad, but they are way the heck out there, off any beaten path;
one of the teachers is with us in the baseball swap group.
Civil War re-enactors: I'd heard about that, but it's always
on the wrong side of the battle. VBG
