I, too, am a retiree on a fixed income, so when I find bargain fabric I am beyond excited. Our Tuesday Morning just recently opened and I finally made it in to check things out...was I surprised to find that they had bundles of fat quarters at a great price, 12 for 7.99 and 8 for 5.99. Our LQS sells them FQ's 2.50 each. I hope they have new selections on a regular basis!
