Nokie, Go to
www.ConnectingThreads.com and have a look. There is a sale in progress at present on some the fabric from last years designs (30 to 60% 0ff) - Batiks are 40% off @ $4.16 per yard (great assortment). The regular price for design sets are $5.96/yard. Their newest line is 100% cotton lawn lightweight fabric called Matsuri @ $6.96/yard.
They also sell books, thread and additional notions. The notions are usually cheaper at Joanns especially with the coupons. Good hunting and so glad you have joined the quilting world. Sandy 64
