The closure of Joann Fabric & Crafts has left quilters and seamstresses in towns like Ranson and Martinsburg scrambling for local suppliers. As they seek alternatives, shops such as All About Fabric in Martinsburg and Boxer Craft House in Ranson have gained popularity among local crafters, who appreciate the quality and variety offered. While larger retailers like Hobby Lobby and Walmart are options, their fabrics are often seen as inferior. Amidst these challenges, residents are encouraged to explore new local businesses and online sources, demonstrating resilience in their crafting pursuits, as reported by The Journal.
