3. if you don't, won't or can't share in our pleasure please move along without comment. don't rain on our parade and don't ruin what started as a happy topic.
as elvis would have said, "thankya ... thankya very much."
Well said! I have a very nice LQS,beautiful fabric but I simply cant afford 9-10 dollars a yard. If I want a 1/2 yard, I have to pay 6.00. (FQ are 2.50 though ). Batting, thread,patterns etc.. just cost way too much for me there. They may be well priced, I dont know. I just know I cant afford it. And I dont like shopping at Walmart either, but the prices are great, and I dont have the luxury of being able to go elsewhere and spend more $$,whether it be groceries, household goods or fabric. I'm pretty sure most of us dont have that luxury.
