I totally agree...I live about 50 miles south of Ottawa. In a 1hr drive time diameter, I have probably 18-23 quilt shops. But as Canada Kate said "the fabric starts at $15.00/metre." Yes you can get some fabric for around 11.99/metre but it is usually outdated or ugly. I have been using primarily my stash for the past few years, and yes I have been cranking out fast and furiously, but, the last time I bought fabric, it was online. Both my husband and I are retired(him by age and me by health) so living on one fixed income makes a big difference of where I can buy fabric and if I can get a bigger bang for my buck...then yes I will shop online.
