I found a quilt in a December/January 2013 issue of a magazine that I want to make and I want to use the same fabric. I thought certainly the fabric would still be available since it appeared in a new magazine but I was surprised to find out that the fabric had been out for over a year. To make a long story short, I searched the internet and was able to get all the fabric I needed from three different websites. Holding my breathe hoping none of the companies email and say, sorry - no longer available. Sitting on pins and needles!!! (Not really).

Why do fabrics go off the market so quickly? I can't afford to buy the fabric each time I see a quilt I want to make in a magazine - especially if I want to make it out the same fabric! My bucket list is long and if I had all the fabric already, I would have to move out of my house.
