When my Australian friend was here to visit with me, she fell in love with my "Bugs in a Jar" quilt and I gave her a pattern for it and asked her if would be able to get the faric and that is when she told me the price. I went into my stash and gave her enough for two quilts and that is not a whole lot of fabric. All she had to do was get the background then.
I felt so bad for her. I bet a lot of ladies can't afford to quilt.
I was wondering why australia imports fabric from the US. I do believe a lot of our fabric comes from Bali, Indodesia, Japan etc. so does our wool for knitting.
Since I brought up the wool. I am now curious how much wool cost in Australia, since a lot of it is made there. How much does a four oz hank cost? I do knit too and must pay at least 9.00 for 4 oz of wool.
