    On Mar 29th I ordered a bunch of fabrics from Thousands of Bolts as they had Northcott Stonehenge fabric on sale for $6.95 yard. (LQS here charges $18 metre). It was my first time buying from them but they sent 30 yards in a medium flat rate box for 28.95 so shipping only added $1 yard to price of fabric. Great shipping deal for Canadians and there were no charges to pay when it was delivered. The shipping was super fast as they arrived today. I have loved the Stonehenge line since seeing them at the Creative Crafting show in Edmonton last fall but they were too pricey for me. There are so many I may never get them all but I made a start with these. I also got some Hoffman 1895 batiks for the same price and some neutrals from Quilter's Choice and Benartex and Hoffman Sewing Notions fabric for even less money. I don't have specific projects in mind for these yet but I really do love all of them. Later today my DS and DDIL are coming back from Vegas with more fabrics for me! Today is a great day!

    I wish I could afford to buy that much batiks at one time but at least I added some to my collection of batiks.

    When you get the fabric from Vegas post a pic of that too and let us know where it came from. I live outside of Vegas and like to see what other people are finding. Good job on getting the fabric you love at a great price. :thumbup:
