I find that many quilters are turning to find deals on fabric whereever they can, like JoAnn's or even Walmart.
The fabric shops, a lot of the material is upwards of $9 to $10 a yard now. I can remember back when my grandmother was teaching my sister and I to sew, the material was $.57 a yard. We thought it was outrageous when it hit $1.00 a yard.
What do you pay in the UK?
