I just got to say that I really enjoy scrolling through many pages of fabric, yummy fabric, to buy just the right shade and color for my quilt. I also really enjoy buying patterns, new quilting books and cheap used quilting books for a fraction of the cost.
I, on the other hand, get overwhelmed at the huge variety of fabric available online. I dither on what is the best choice. Plus I’ve learned my monitor doesn’t always show the true colors of fabrics. So I don’t often buy online.
