Oh, I love Joann's, I've got nothing against them, we just call any generic plaid/pattern Mac Joann's. Every month I buy a huge fabric cut for 50% off thanks to their loverly coupons. If I start doing this on more than a by-request-of-friends basis, I know I'm going to have to go down to Fabric Row or someplace and buy a little more in bulk, but for now it's a lot less pressure to chuck the kids in the car (seven and one) and run down Rt 1 to the HUGE Joann's near my house.

PM me the info, though- you can never have too many resources!
