I bought some blenders this morning from MarshallsDryGoods. They are a wholesaler in fabrics - cost was $2.99 a yard plus shipping. 4 yards for under $20, not bad considering quilt shops are almost $10 a yard along with Joanns (unless they are having a sale on certain fabrics).
Guess what I am saying, I buy on sale or wholesale to keep the cost down on fabric. If I do see something at a local quilt shop or they have a special like one is tomorrow 20% off whole purchase - bag lady day, you take a bag that you have gotten from them to get the purchase, I will go look to see if there is anything that calls my name.
