I would dearly love to support my LQS but my meager budget will just not allow it. I used to shop at WM until they took out the fabric dept, then it was the sale table at Hancocks and coupons at Joann's and Hancocks. Now, even these 2 local stores have raised their prices so now I hunt on line for sales. There is no way I can pay more than $5 a yard for fabric, and even then it is a rarity. I frequent quiltinaday for their clearance fabrics. I don't care if my fabric is this years or a couple years ago. I just pick what I like and can afford. I would love to be able to get Batiks, as they are so pretty. Just can't do. LOL, maybe that is why I like scrappy quilts, anything goes!
