Most of my "interesting" fabrics are brought over in my luggage or sent over in boxes and shipped by boat--arrives up to 3 months after I've been in the states. I was in the USA 2x last year so I was able to ship back to myself several boxes of fabric either donated or stuff I bought.
But I will be scouting, when I can get a moment, for interesting fabric while we are in Turkey.
