winterpromise31, zoes is a great shop. another one you may want to visit is mulqueens in mesa. top quality fabrics at great prices. if you pick up the free newspapers at resturants and dr offices etc there are often coupons for discounts. most fabrics are $6.95 a yard. i stocked up and had a 40 off coupon. i only use jo anns for notions now. there is a quilt show in mesa this weekend at the community center. you'll have fun and see some fantistic quilts if you get a chance to go. don't be intimidated by them. most who enter have been quilting for a long time. my quilt chapter, the strawberry patchers has a raffle quilt that is great. the chances are only $1.00.
