I haven't been to my local quilt stores lately. Mostly because I go with friends to Marden's in Sanford, ME. where they sell top quality fabrics at 2.99 to 3.99 a yard. The thing is, though, when you see something you like you better buy it because it won't be there when you go back. I have also been buying fabric on line and even some from this board. One LQS near me is really big, but funny, whenever I have gone, I have left empty handed. I don't know why, just nothing jumps out that says buy me. But the other stores I go to, well, then I can get in trouble!
