Thanks,Judy. We're also on retirement budget.Several shops you mentioned look to have good sales. Will be checking them out.

You have to look through the whole site but it is well worth it - most fabrics at 1000s of Bolts... but only one Nut are less than $4/yd.
For excellent fabric and fabric selection at slightly higher prices, I use Connecting Threads; their batiks are less than $6/yd.
Hancocks of Paducah and Stitch-'N-Frame also have great sales; I get much of my fabric from the letter at their Thursday specials.
Also I shop at Fabric.com which has excellent sales and if you spend $35,
shipping is free.Unfortunately it is very easy to spend $35...
Naturally the sale fabrics don't come in complete collections but it might mean that you got the focus fabric at full price, but the coordinates at the sales. This has worked for me since I live on a retirement budget.
Best of luck to you - Judy
