Warm and Natural batting is $69 for a queen size package.
Needless to say, I wait for sales.
With the Canadian $ being so close to par with US right now, it's almost worth the tank of gas to shop over the border, and I'm 3 hours away!
You're welcome to come and shop here; we're about 45 minutes south of Niagara Falls. Right now most of our current lines are $8.40-$8.60 / yard, some of the future groups are going to have to be $8.80 but none of the 44"-wide goods are priced at more than that. We just don't want to cross that $9/yard boundary if there's any way around it. And we also have less expensive fabrics in the range of $5 - $7 / yard. We're only open weekdays 9-5 (that's the benefit to us workers, for being a mostly-online business - we get to have weekends off).
But you won't want to come shopping right now 'cause of the snow. Give us another day or two to get cleaned up! Thought I do see some blue sky... gee, that wasn't in the forecast!
