Thank heavens for our stashes,with the crazy weather all over the country where will fabric prices stop. Cotton crop is not good again this year. Gas prices keep going up with the fabric and groceries,time to use up the stash.

Sue's Sew EZ has some very nice batiks, reasonably priced:

Our LQS batiks run around $12.00/yd.

(I didn't pay full price for that, one either).

Yes, I have seen batiks at 12.99/yd in several places.
Connecting Threads sells them for 6.99 or less, and I like their quality just fine. I won't ever be spending 12.99....I just can't afford that.
