Yes, when JoAnnes still carried a large stock of batiks, the last ones I bought from them were $12.99 a yd. and I decided never again. Went to a quilt shop in VA with my daughter and they had a selection that had any and every combination you could ever want and it was mostly 9.97yd. Made me slightly sick to think what I had paid so much for. Now, JoAnnes has only a few bolts of it and not very good quality either, more like painted cheesecloth.
