I buy ALL my fabrics online from the US as the price in Australia is three to four times the price in the US for exactly the same fabric. Postage is around $16 US if you order less than 9 yards.
The service is excellent and the choice of fabrics is unbelievable, I then take photo's of my quilts and post them back to the US for you all to judge, its sort of recycling in a way.
Anyway Merry Christmas from "Down Under", hope in 2012 we all continue to make beautiful quilts.
