I found a Quilt Shop
Well I was driven there. I have made no bones in the past that I cannot afford the prices in most Canadian quilt shops and for that reason have shopped almost exclusively from the states on line.
But today some friends made the necessary appointment and we drove, only a half hour from my house to a small in house ( literally) shop in the country. OMG prices I can afford.

This is the entry to her shop. I bought and I will return.
So if you live in southern Ontario it might be worth a gander.
(Hope the board allows this to stay???)

I'm so glad for you. A good quilt shop is few and far between even in the states. A new shop opened not far from me and I was so disappointed in it. Small bright and lots of quilt samples hung but fabric started at $11.99 a yard. Sale fabric was $10.50 a yard and all of the notions and thread were marked up way over retail. I know retail prices of all things quilting. I bought a pattern to show support but I knew the pattern was marked $2 over retail. I won't be back until there is a going out of business sale.
