Hi Andrea, could you get into Holland? My DH is Dutch and quilting is really popular there - lots of LQSs and some brilliant shows and exhibitions. They also have something called Stoffenspektakel which goes around conference centres and such like. I've been to a couple, a lot of furnishing and dressmaking fabric but also some really nice cottons if you dig around - at least I managed to spend 200 euro at the last one I went to! Got sackloads of fabric though. LOL If you google it, you can find the schedule.
