Kate, you've come to the right place for support in your purchases - especially because you already have projects in mind for them! And, as pointed out, the normal cost of fabric in Canada is so much higher than what you paid.
Fabric.com is one that can get me, but lately it's been Whittles when they add their weekly new lines. Sometimes Missouri Star's daily deal - but never when it's a charm pack! And last week one of the local Menonite stores had their annual sale, 15% off their already lower than usual prices. Oh dear, guess I'd better not open that e-mail from fabric.com...
