I haven't been out shopping lately for fabric but will be going this weekend for other things if the snow doesn't pile up to much! I will check the prices to see what they are when I go.

I was told in our quilt club that with the prices of cotton that beginning in January, now, that cotton was going up to well of $11 a yard but should go back down at some point, yah right, once things go up they never come down just like gas we are up to almost $3.50 a gallon and they blame it on Katrina. Its just the gas companies that are hogs. Never mind us who are struggling to make ends meet. Kim

There is a great shop in Keller and that's not too far from Denton.

There is a small LQS that sells all fabric for $6/yard. FQ's are $1.50, and she will cut a FQ from any bolt. She doesn't carry the "latest", but the fabrics are all top quality and beautiful.

Since the price of cotten is going up, you can expect the price of fabrics to really go up.

Fabric is usually in the 8 to 10 dollar range in Quilt Shops and my hauband always wanted to know why I bought so much fabric when it was less than $7. Love sales and going to Amish Country or online. Fortunately because of buying so much when I really didn't need it, I have plenty of fabric and only need to acquire small amounts as needed. I did have to buy some about a month ago spent $23 to make 2 blocks but that is rare. Hubby would have been shocked.

Last time I checked out prices at the LQS,MODA was 9.50,she carries some flat folds that sell for 4.79-5.99 a yard.
There is also a fabric store(not a quilt shop,but carries 100% cotton)her fabric starts at 3.89 a yard,and she does get Thimbleberries and some Civil War all nice quality.

I just found the store in December. It's Quilting Cousins in Clifton. They have a website! Plenty of fabrics and notions too. We're "neighbors" - will send you a PM.

I'm from Valley Mills and I love this store. The owners are really helpful if you have a problem or question.

$9-10 here in WI.
Every month my LQS has a 30% off sale on whatever color is the birthstone of the month. I just went this morning and got some red's for my stash. Gotta love those sales!

Over here fabric at the good stores would be upwards of $20, mostly around $24 per metre
