I shop on-line/ebay or go to Pt Huron. I sure didn't see any deals at Len's and I haven't been along Ottawa in years but will probably check it out next time we are in the B'ton area. I will be following to see if you get any good suggestions.
btw, I was across the border just last week and the Pt Huron Joanns had a really crappy selection IMO - Mary Maxim on the other hand always has beautiful fabric and lots of civil war fabric if that is what you like (I do)
..even found a few decent prints at Hobby Lobby that seem to be fairly good quality.
...and I am really lucky because our Fabricland has a huge selection of FQ's and many are name brand fabrics - I have some Henry Glass, Marcus Bros, and Moda from my last scrounge....any other Fabricland I go into has either no FQ's or a pitiful selection
