I know the price of fabric has escalated, but over here in UK, our prices are astronomical compared to US. I wanted a particular fabric for a quilt I am making, and it was £12 (app $18).I found the same fabric online from a store in Oregon, and with shipping to UK, it cost me £8 (app $12) The only problem with buying from US sometimes you get stung for import tax, but as this was not a big order, I had non to pay.If I visit US, I always comw home with some fabric in my suitcase.
