Never say never. I went on the site and looked at the fabric. I have to admit it is beautiful and well done. I guess if you really wanted something unique you would pay that much.

But me??? NO

If you click on this story and read through to the 2nd store owner, she talks about regionally inspired fabrics. She's charging $60 a yard, and almost $17 for a fat quarter...would you pay this amount for fabric???

I know I wouldn't...

It's Holyoke, Mass. What would you expect?!?!? A spendy area. Not in my future....

I only wish I was well off enough to just consider buying that expensive a fabric. The most expensive fabric I ever worked with was two yards of $45/yd lace for my daughter's wedding. I did like the kitty on the t-shirt though.

Personally, it isn't the most attractive fabric, but maybe would look good with a pair of Berkenstocks.

The people I know from the Northern Berkshires aren't nut jobs.

To each his own, I guess. I couldn't afford it myself and plus, I'd be afraid to do anything with it.

No question about it...I couldn't!

I cringe at Australian fabric over $10.00 a yard. Bought half yard because I liked 2 of the fabrics.

Never would pay -- even if I liked it -- these prices.

only if I had a head injury, even tons of money wouldnt tempt me.

no. Just a plain and simple no. Not even if I were rolling in money.

We have high end cotton fabric in our local quilt shop for $75 and the prices generally start at $21 - $34. (I usually look in that shop).
I buy in places that are having sales. Even so, $10 is cheap in Australia, so if you want to quilt...
