Quilter's bazaar
 
I live in Vancouver Washington and belong to a large guild. Over 500 members. We had a Stashbuster Bazaar today and as usual I found some real bargains. Am thinking I should avoid fabric stores and just shop at our bazaar. Great fabrics at 50 cents a fat quarter and lots of larger pieces for $2 a yard. Also picked up a few patterns and some rulers. Fabric Depot is just across the river in Portland, OR and has a wonderful selection of quilter's cottons. Thousands of bolts, but their average price seems to be around 12.50 a yard now.

Not sure if you are getting to the right web site , but the only fabric that high on Thousands of bolts is wide backing fabrics. Lots and lots of regular cottons under $5.00 per yard.

I think she may have meant that Fabric Depot has thousands of bolts. . .

I know nothing about a place called Thousands of Bolts. I was talking about the price of quilter's cottons at Fabric Depot. the prices I am quoting are for shops locally here in the Portland Metropolitan area

Yes, that is what I meant

When shopping at Fabric Depot, I have spotted the perfect fabric only to pick up the bolt and then put it back when I realize it is 14.99 a yard. Who can afford to quilt at those prices?
