I am a hoarder of fabric but I will not pay extremely high prices for fabric. I give almost all my quilts away to charities and I can't afford sky high prices. I'm always looking and buying at sales or I couldn't begin to do what I do for others. I know that from my experiences all the fabric stores have great fabric and junk. Sales will get me to buy. I went to a quilt shop about 6 months ago and all their clearance fabric was $3.88 a yard. Needless to say I walked out with a ton of fabric. Just have to be careful and hit the sales. I have more fabric than I could ever use and will use it up before I pay the sky high prices.
