Another small fabric shop gone

For Sale 2This afternoon during a Sunday afternoon drive to Greenwood (population around 7000), I noticed this For Sale sign on what used to be a fabric store. I had visited there once and had admired the 1800s building that housed the shop.

I stopped the car and snapped some photos. Check out the beautiful wooden doors. Next I walked to the side of the shop where someone had painted a couple of quilts.

Here’s a closeup of the Attic Window painted quilt.

If you will send me photos of small quilt and fabric shops that have recently closed in your area with a description, I will do a series on this subject. How do you feel when a quilt shop leaves your area?
