We do not have a lot of quilt stores where I live. But we are always being told to support what we have or we will lose them. But the prices are so high, that I shop there very little. We do have a store which sells fabric and craft supplies, initially years ago, it was just fabrics but the card making and scrap book making have taken over, so the fabric section is diminishing, and the price going up constantly. They sell a lot of the fabric by weight, which is what I always go for,but only a small section of it is quilting fabric. Saying that I went a couple of weeks ago got some really good fabrics, most of it Moda, I bought app 20 yds in total which worked out about £2.00 per yard. I buy a lot for backing from there. The only thing is that when I do go, I seem to spend too much.
