NO WAY!!!! I'm way too cheap for that. That, and I'm on a fixed income. I don't have that kind of money and probably never will, unless I win the lottery. I constantly shop for sales and free shipping online. In person I will look at everything, but I won't buy anything that isn't on sale, no matter how much I love it. When prices really get too high for my budget I'm going to have to resort to the way women of years past made quilts. Start ripping apart all the clothes from my wardrobe, lol. Or anybody else's I can get into. Shop for clothes at thrift stores and yard sales. Get it where you can, but I will never pay that price, or anything close to it for fabric. It had better be spun with gold thread for me to even consider it. The prices are just getting rediculous these days.
