I am happy for you to be able to afford the prices of a LQS, good for you.....as for me I am a retired widow living on a very small income. I buy fabric that I love, the best the I can afford at the time for my quilts, from where ever I can shop, which is usually Walmart, because it is close and I can not afford the high gas prices to drive around town ....I make up for any short comings with a ton of love that I pour into my creations...
