I buy fabric everywhere. If it is for something very special, or a special expensive pattern, I buy from LQS. However, since quilting is my ONLY hobby, entertainment, luxury budget item I buy a lot (for me). A couple of hundred a month. Sometimes more, plus magazines and books which usually runs around $75. I buy thrift, garage sale, etc., fabric for scrap quilts, pet quilts, kids drag around quilts. I can make more for the next 10 years or so. I have made several what I consider heirloom quality quilts and hope the fabric I put into them will hold up. If I put my $200 a month into LQS fabric, I wouldn't have much.
