Yes I noticed when I googled some years ago that Fanny's was out of business. When I visited they joined me in Fanny''s Fabric Club as a senior to get a better reduction on patterns even though I was nowhere near a senior at the time (it was some years ago, ahem!) I was most impressed that they let the customer look in the pattern drawers. You NEVER get to do that in the UK. I carried my membership card around for years in happy memory. Must get back to Vancouver, Fanny's or no Fanny's.
