I am a sometime crafter, but my retired mom is a full-time quilting machine (she does baby quilts for hospitals) and she rarely gets out and about past her small area of comfort when driving, so taking her to Jo-Ann's was a real treat for both of us.\n\nThe store, formerly an office supply store, located in the shopping center at the corner of South and 485 (Target, Kohl's, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc.) is clean, well-lit and has plenty of parking directly in front of the building. It's not in the main group of retails stores, but kind of off to the left, somewhat behind Value City Furniture.\n\nThe fabric selection is wonderful. Charms, fat quarters, yardage, I was amazed at the selection. Once you pick and choose what you need, just bring it to the table to be cut and coded and you're good to go. I found the staff to be quite helpful. The sell Viking machines there and mom busied herself talking with the woman working on that section and dreaming of a giant embroidery machine. \n\nThey had a good selection of beads and such for jewelry making, although in looking through it, I think I like Michaels better for that - although that could be because I am accustomed to go to Michaels for that and know the products and placement better there. I felt a little lost at Jo-Ann's and didn't really see anything that tickled my fancy. But, I was looking for quilting fabric, so I may not have been in the mood.\n\nGreat store to get lost in if you are a crafty sort - or even if you aren't. Great selection of arts, crafts and fabrics.
