    I hope you have a great trip! You will be shocked at the prices - about double here and even dearer in Switzerland. Also, Europe imports virtually all of our fabric from you guys.............
    That said, you will find fabric and patterns patterns that are designed to appeal to a different, European market as well as, I'm sure, very familiar ones.
    As you're not planning a shopping spree (thankfully, lol!), I'm sure there will be something delicious that will just capture the essence of your trip.
    Safe journey

    My guild in Florida has a few people from Europe...they are always saying how great it is to buy fabric here because the prices there are sooooo high. They usually bring an extra piece of luggage to take fabric home.

    I think that it's the biggest shop in Switzerland. The prices are higher here!

    I don't think so. He and my husband SKYPE a lot. I think he would have mentioned it. Though there was some concern about flooding, it seems to have past.
