What a great way to spend a lunch. I do buy fabric from Joann's and some quilting stores in the area, however
I have been buying fabric at a site called FABRIC.COM, They are always having a sale and if you purchase $35 or more they ship your order free. I normally find that most online stores charge $6-7 to ship a $35 order. I love free shipping - the savings allows me more $$$ to spend of fabric.
Right now until Feb 1 they are taking an additional 20% off of their clearance fabric.
