That would be nice,but I wonder if some ppl don't just need the $$ for other things & no interest in getting more fabric?
I'm another quilter shopping stash.So glad I have it,but no way I'll pay those prices. Will have to go back to my old hobbies if need be.DH is retired & our income doesn't get raises.
"I think it's a great way to renew or refresh your fabric supplies. I think a lot of us are just going to have to find more creative ways to add to our fabric stashes. I would personally love to see more trade offers on the classifieds here instead of just cash sales."

$9.99 must have been a sale price! I've been online checking prices lately, and it's up to $11.49 on some sites per yard. I do my best to find sale fabrics when I'm looking for something, but having said that, I have also paid full price for small amounts. As a general rule, though, I ALWAYS look for sale prices.

If I'm going to spend upwards of $9.00 would rather give my hard-earned $$ to a quilt shop.
