Hello Fellow Quilters,
Thank you again for the additional answers. I do buy almost all my material at a local quilt shop, but I did not look down on anyone that buys anywhere else. I am so sorry that some thought that. I love quilting, and I knew all of you love quilting! I think of us of sister quilters, not rivals. I was asking that question because I wanted to know if any of you had found a difference in the material. (I have recently found the same fabric at Hancocks and my local quilt shop.) Our quilt shop has 25% off a yard or more fabric sale the last day of every month, and 35% off if you buy the whole bolt. I almost always save my shopping for that day. Every bolt is on sale. Then this quilt shop has two major sales a year, and I buy then, also.
Life is good and I always try to build people up in my life, and always try to look for the best in people. Therefore, I don't like being judgmental, because it steals from some of my joy in life and some of the other person's joy. So please again, know that I was not being judgmental. Wishing all of you a sunshiny day!
