In a LQS in our area of the country, they sell egyptian cotton, it is in where the bolts for muslin are, it is really lovely fabric, has a higher thread count and is very soft to touch. They told me they are having difficulty in locating it, so when I find it in the shop, and if I can afford it at the time, I will purchase most of the bolt. I was talking to another quilt shop owner and she indicated they couldn't find it anymore, so she suggested just to use Kona White for those items I would use the egyptian cotton on.
