I bought batiks from Roberta on the board and they are beautiful. I don't know what they cost now but last year they were under 7.00
Double digits for fabric is making me re-think my stash!!

I haven't heard anything out of Roberta lately - or have I missed one of her posts?

Batik at our LQS is anywhere from $16.95 to $22.95 (Canadian $), depending on the manufacturer and shipping, etc.. I buy it when it goes on sale, which is not very often.

My lqs has a ton of them for 9.99. Ive been searching online for quite a while looking for batiks. Ive seen most of them for that price and under. hancocks of paducah and joanns had them for 12

Barbara (quilter on the eastern edge) - batik prices are about the same at our LQS also. I buy when they are on sale or when I go to the US.

Darn! Are you in the GTA? I thought I could pick up some cheaply when I visit my sister in October. Guess I'll cross batiks off my list. :(

try connectingthreads.com or thousandsofbolts.com both have beautiful batiks for much less than the others. Virg

You at least do not have to pay the high prices that we have here in Australya!
12.99 sound very cheap to me!

Has anyone else seen Batik's this highly priced?
cjmomma, LQS batkis have been in the $12-15 range here in western Michigan for about 6-8 months and I was just speaking with an ownere and she said they were going up agian. I love batiks and so I shop batiks plus quite often.

I am still shocked mainly due to the fact that in this little town they won't sell for that price. This is mostly a retirement community even tho we have a university here people can't afford those prices. Even the store manager couldn't believe the prices. She when someone hears the price they just put it back on the shelf.
