Project 95: Fabric Shoppers Unite
Did you know that 95 percent of fabric shoppers make their purchases at chain stores? That's right, only 5 percent shop independents. Let's change that. Shop Independents is a worldwide network of independent quilt and fabric shops, that have joined forces to promote shopping independents. By buying from Project 95 shops, you support this movement and join with consumers just like yourself to ensure that you will have access to specialised quilting and sewing supplies, no matter where you live
