There is an interesting video on YouTube about the rise & fall of Jo-Ann fabrics called

“What Happened To Jo-Ann Fabrics.”

The YouTube channel name is ‘Buried History with Jonathan Reed’.

The Closure of Savannah Sews of Pooler

This comes with a very heavy heart that Savannah Sews of Pooler will be closing our doors at the end of July. Dan and I have decided to pursue other positions which will not allow our continued support of the retail shop.

We are currently looking for a buyer for the shop and could use your help to find the perfect person(s) to carry on Savannah Sews. Please share with anyone you know who may be interested in owning a quilt shop in an extremely supportive community. We believe there is someone perfect out there for this wonderful business and we want to hear from you.

If unsuccessful in selling the shop, we will enter a store closing period.  Please watch for an announcement of upcoming special sales events.

Hi everyone,

My sister-in-law is trying to find good sources to buy a quality wall tapestry to hang over her

fireplace. She doesn’t care for the online ones at Wayfair or Overstock.com. She lives in

DE.  If you have an  online source please let me know! Thank you!!

Ladies,

If you are interested in turning your photos into a pixelated quilt, visit the

website: youpatch.com.  It is easy to upload your photo onto their site, then view

it in three sizes.  If you order the pixelated pattern they e-mail it quickly and it

provides fabric yardage, cutting and sewing instructions.  It is the site

I used for making the SCAD building quilt I showed in the March meeting.
