Found a treasure trove of a shop
 

I was in Manchester (UK) today, which used to be the centre of the British textile industry and still has some back street shops that sell fabric and other textile products. I found this place which sells fabric, including quilting fabric, BY WEIGHT! Never seen that before. I got 2 pieces of beautiful fabric, about 7 yards in total, for the cost of about 1.5 yards at a quilt shop, plus a very large piece of fleece, which I'll use as batting for practice pieces. I think I'll be going to Manchester again...

YEAH!!!! Don't you just love a good deal? Congrats on your find :thumbup:

:thumbup: Great find. It is always nice to have a goal for a road trip:)

Great score!!

What a great bargain! You will have to go there again.

Ooooooo lucky you. Wish we all could find a place like that.

WTG!

Is it a busy place? Sounds like it would be quite popular.

It was very busy, with people buying for all sorts of crafts, and a big bridal fabric department as well.

Its really a great deal. Everyone who love quilting fabric, wish to get such deals

So you found MY Abakhan treasure trove did you?? Sometimes they have LOTS of great bargain cottons, other times nowt! Glad you had fun and next time you are thinking of coming over to visit, give me a shout and we can meet up there! :D

Hehe!! You beat me to it!!!! Was just going to ask if it was Abakhan!!!!

It HAS to be..only shop that I know of that sells by the lb!! UNLESS there is one I don't know of maybe! Well I think that is wishful thinking Hilary!

LOL :D
