I love batiks, and have lots in my stash, but there is always room for more. My LQS has prices around $9-$10 and a sale going on through the end of May for 20% off. I think I need to go buy some more reading the prices from some of the other areas, wow, especially Canada. I have bought some from Connecting Threads, beautiful colors.

We all will be seeing those high prices due to the failure of the world's cotton crops over the last 2 seasons. Not only are yard goes going up, so will clothing, especially t-shirts and blue jeans. I am trying to buy ahead, my LQS is having a sale this week before the higher priced fabrics come in.

Sadly, unless you find it on sale, those prices are about the going rate.

A local (Columbus, Georgia) quilting shop has beautiful materials. You might find something you like there. I love their fabrics.

I haven't either. I know she was in Bali but that was awhile ago. Her batiks are truly wonderful!!

YES

I've seen it from 7.95 to 14.95 yd.

I buy all of my batiks from Mary Jo's Cloth Store (online) in Gastonia NC. Folks this place is more than amazing. Huge beyoond huge. AND Dolly Parton's costomers buy all of the fabrics, trims etc for Dolly and crew there too.

HOffman batiks at $6.49 to $7.49 a yard - first quality ONLY too.

Yes, some of the batiks at Joanns is $12.99 a yard. I about fainted when I saw that.

Hi! I'm back from Bali! I just haven't gotten my butt in gear yet - been in Arizona. Mine will most likely will be $7.25/yard this time. Beautiful stuff - email me ([email protected]) if you're not on my "list".

I've seen batiks online for $13/yard - prices are going up just like everything else! Last night at the market, my 5 lb. bag of sugar was only 4 lbs - sure hope a yard of fabric doesn't change to 32"!!!!
