Went to local fabric store for their 50% sale here in Canada.
I wanted to buy a 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 Omnigrid ruler...The price? $72.99.
(They're on sale for $17.99 at Joann's in the US right now...)
I looked through them and one was marked at $55.99...maybe old stock?....So I bought that one at 50% off. Still paid $28.00 plus tax for it.
I also looked at batiks, but they were still $15.00/m even with the sale. 100% cottons were still $9.00/m and that's with 50% off.
So, there's an example of what Canadian quilters are up against when we shop for our supplies here. Count your lucky stars the next time you go to buy fabrics and supplies.
And look for the occasional Canadian who is lucky enough to live nearby.
