As prices continue to go up and up, I have to be careful about what I can buy. I am blessed to have a store in CT that sells fabric for 2.99 a yard, {everything in the store is this price}, and although all is not great, there are some awesome quilting fabric in the mix. The store is a distance from me so I don't get to go as often as I would like, but when I do, it's a real treat for me and I will stock up with as much as I can afford. Also I go to the {back rack} at my LQS for 50% off too.
