One of my favorite sites is www.fabric.com
I have seen so many wonderful quilt sites just reading on this board. I've started bookmarking many of them so I can share them with friends. Someone is always asking me for a good site. Thanks to all those passing on their favorite one. I know shopping on line is not supporting our LQS but sometimes we've got to shop our budget as well.

I have ordered from Connection Threads & was satisfied with the fabric. Would do it again. Also reasonable!

I've never bought fabric online. I want to see the color and feel the quality of the fabric. Theres just too much variance in color and quality in fabric to buy online.

Ebay and Hancocks of Paducah (sp) - usually name brands only

Most of the time from fabric.com, but I've also used jandofabrics.com, and one here locally, fabricdepot.com. Boersma's is another great fabric store. I've never purchased online because it's local, but they have a huge store and a huge selection--another is Greenbaum's Quilted Forest. It's an hour away, but worth the drive. If you do a search, I'm sure you'll find both of those shops.

I just talked to Jenny, one of the owners, at Missouri Quilt Company on the phone and they have daily deals! Wow!

Also on that site you will find great videos to watch and learn more about quilting. This is my # 1 video site online to learn new techniques.

I'd better not fabric shop this weekend, but here's one online order I received yesterday from www.embtreasures.com (Embroidery Treasures). A Google search led me there to buy Quilter's Delight Pin Covers and this set of fabrics just fell in my cart -- and I thought that only happened at brick and mortar stores! It's Lakehouse Hydrangea collection. One Christmas I made DIL and SD (Stepdaughter) table runners from the purple and raspberry print. I didn't get enough fabric for one for me and never found it again. It was fate -- this color is better for my house and I have a rose hydrangea by my front door. Besides, I paid $9 a yard for theirs, $5.99 a yard for this. Hmm, maybe I can fabric shop with the money I saved.
