The Daily Peeve / Rant

[iris lilies]

I agree!! We have a JoAnn's in Burlington, and I shop there fairly regularly. It is really a vestige of the past, though, when people actually made stuff. I went to JoAnn's a lot when I was making my DD's wedding dress, but I frequently found a reason to go for other things.

I also don't know what will replace them. Fabric, by definition, is tactile. It's really difficult to purchase fabric online. I don't even know where people buy fabric, if it's not JoAnn's.

I'll mourn with you, IL.

hobby lobby, and Michael’s craft stores have a small fabric section, but it is small.

I never minded the rows and rows of cotton quilting fabrics at JoAnn’s because I figured the quilters were keeping the place goingeven though I walked right past those bolts to look for things I needed. and the ribbon section!
