here I am in my role as contrarian. yes, our not buying fabric does hurt the quilt shops, and I am deeply sorry for that. BUT, and I personally have a big one, if other sources can sell the product for $5++ less per yard then what does that say? I can't bankrupt myself to keep others in business. And personally, at the rate I sew I will live to 200 and still have stash. and my confession== I bought my ddil a fq pack of hand dyed greens for her birthday on Mar. 17. I am kinda proud of myself.
