Sad but true. We have lost a couple in the past 2-3 years. Just yesterday I went to one of my favorite places and purchased a little less than $150 worth of things for a t shirt quilt I am making. I bought only - at full price - what I absolutely had to have. The rest was all reduced pricing, etc. I love the local shops but when I can get fabric on line for 5-6$/yard and I see the exact same thing at the shop for 10-12$/yard guess which one I am going to buy?
