at this point, my stash is increasing in value faster than my savings account!!!

Yes, I have ordered from them several times and have never been disappointed.

thanks so much for the web site. I took a quick look and loved so many of them and the prices are great! Nice of you to share.

Good thing I have some already bought and stashed away!

Gosh...that is expensive. I hate it when I need just a little bit more and price goes up sky high. I have tried using fabric I already had and ended up wishing I had just spend the extra money. Oh well what can one do...

I went with my niece to a doctor's appt and decided to stop at the little quilt shop nearby. :shock: $12.99 per yard! Guess I'm stuck with JoAnn's.

don't you have a membership for Fabriclaand- save 20% and watch for 50% off for membership days

I sympathise with you having to pay so much for your bug material.My DH gave me the £ sterling conversion and I share your angst as we are having to pay that price regularly here-therefore DH realises that the stash is a good investment.
Take care
Buddy in fabric.

If you're looking for coordinating fabrics for a project, have you considered Whittles? ( http://whittlesfabrics.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi ) I think their highest price is $6.50 or $7.00 a yard, and you can shop by collection. They even mark down the leftovers to as low as $3 or $3.50 per yard once a line is almost gone. It's not this season's newest lines, but you will recognize the brand names. They just listed the Bittersweet line by Nancy Halvorsen, and I am trying to resist. I have been buying from them for a while and the service is good and shipping fast.

Myself, I can't believe how high the regular LQS prices have risen. And actually exclaimed out loud (shocking!!! a bad word slipped out of my mouth....LOL!) when I saw a bolt of fabric at Joann's for $13.99 a yard!!! Crazy.

Excuse me, but you sound like a "Pusher" to me...LOL, don't encourage those of us with a good size stash, to look at Whittles...really, no, don't make me...I REALLY don't NEED anything for the stash...don't make me go look... ;)

Oh just go. You know you want to!!!
