Welcome to the board from Washington, USA. I think you will enjoy it here; there is a great group of people here. You do not need to worry about your English here.

Welcome also to Shoshanna and Janelle.

Hi there everyone
I find that fabric here in the UK is also very expensive. Also there are not very many specialist shops and when you do find them they are miles away and expensive.
Shopping on line is great but sometimes colors and pattern size differs when you actually receive the fabrics.
Would anyone like to swap FQs in the future.

Welcome and hello from Sweden. I have the same problem with english. :oops: :oops:
This is a wonderful site with lots of beautiful patchwork and kind people, who are willing to explain and understand.

I also buy my fabrics in US. It is much to expensive i Europe. Don´t you have problems with EU custom and taxes?
Some of the stores in US are specialized in sending 10 yards in a flat rate envelope :D :D :D That´s christmas.
Cotton Patch in UK are also at least cheeper. Here you don´t have problems with import.
I buy my books in Germany (Amazon) . Same reason.
I´m looking forward to see, what you are dooing.

thanks again for the wonderful welcome (^..^)
