At the Houston Quilt Show, Ricky Tims was selling his hand dyed fabric higher than that. I couldn't believe the price. I have a hard time with $10 and $11 at the LQS.

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... |
blzzrdqueen, thanks for posting the link. That fabric is absolutely beautiful. I love the picture with the chair and the fabric in the background, as well. I would love to see it in person.
This fits a niche, certainly. I can only imagine what some designers could do with it. |
When pigs fly :~)

I would not pay that much unless it were my daughter's shop on opening day ... On a more serious note, it's not a natural fiber (no matter how wide the fabric is!), and it's not an "exotic" product. I am all for paying artists fair market price, but gouging is gouging at any price. Let the delirious interior designers from the Hamptons pay that price .. and pass that delirious cost on to their delirious clients who are are only focused on the latest delirious fad to out-do another delirious dilettante.

Since it's not quilting cotton, the comparison doesn't seem fair. It's an upholstery weight and a special design and made out of recycled materials. Recycling is good,but often costs more than new.

NO.
