Here in Connecticut (for those outside the US, we're sandwiched between New York City and Boston), our governor has issued an Executive Order declaring that all "non-essential" businesses be closed as of tomorrow evening until the danger of COVID-19 has passed. There's a list of "essential businesses" that will remain open, such as grocery stores and gas stations, so we're able to get the things we need.
Sadly, fabric stores and quilt shops did not make the "essential businesses" list; however, liquor stores did. I told my 24-year-old son that I fail to understand how liquor stores could be deemed more essential than fabric stores. His response: "Just call JoAnn's, Mom, and tell them to take their inventory to the nearest package store..."
Smart kid! ๐
