Nothing in this area. Several shops down the shore, I know there are some in the Princeton area, but around this very busy area nothing. I did forget one place -- a sort of fabric warehouse which has mostly upholstery fabric but has one area of quilting cottons. Fabrics are sold pre-cut, 3 and 4 yard pieces, for either $3 or $4/yard and some are well known brands. About every six weeks there's a sale where everything is 40% off. Selection is very limited but I did get two 4-yard lengths, one in a green-on-green and the other the same in red, which will make good backings. Came to just over $2/yard. But as I said, selection is very limited. I've been to two of their sales and last time picked up a 4-yard beige, got it home, and wondered all the way what had spilled in the car that gave it such an odor. It was the fabric. I thought it might have been stored somewhere that an animal got to it and made it home. Washing it twice finally removed the odor but I know if I go back to be very, very careful with what I purchase.
