I bought three last year at the Lancaster show. I think they were about $6. Worth every penny but it would have been nice to pay a dollar. I'm using it right now on my computer chair, have one in the car, one on the futon in our second bedroom.

I'm going to have to try this!
As to the comment about the folks at the quilt show: it costs a pretty penny to have a booth at the quilt show. And it is a convenient and exciting place to buy the latest and the greatest.
Also, from what I understand there are different 'qualities'of materials these things are made of. And the 'little guys' (quilt stores) don't have the huge volume of quantities to buy down the price like chain stores do.
Not that I won't be one of the folks going to the Dollar Tree ... I will. Just asking you cut the quilt show folks a little slack. Nothing is more disheartening as a shop owner to find what they thought was an 'exclusive' has been undercut and sold at discount chain stores. Debbie Mumm is a good example of quilt store 'cross-overs' to retail.
I'm not a quilt store owner but I was around the buiness enough when I was a national educator for Pfaff Sewing Machine Co to know some of the challenges they face as the 'little guys'.
