On a hopeful note, the Hancock's I was in yesterday in Overland Park, KS the store manager is exploring the idea of opening a fabric shop in the area and it would be great if she was able to.
Speaking of prices--went shop hopping this past week and I have to say that one of the shops really liked their fabric--regular LQS cottons (not batiks) at $12/yd and the batiks started at $14/yd--$1-2 higher than the other shops on the hop.
