I was in a store in Urbana Illinois a year or so ago and met a fellow quilter from Australia. I don't remember her name, only her story. She said that she was here visiting a friend and that she unpacked her clothes and was going to leave them here. Her suitcases would only hold fabric on the way home. She said that next year she would bring empty suitcases and fill them up again because the fabric here was so much cheaper than in Australia. :-)
