    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.

    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 use some of the vendors I see listed on quiltingboard. Some that aren't include:

    http://www.artfabrik.com - Laura Wasilowski's hand-dyed fabric, gorgeous and expensive $24/yard
    http://www.contemporarycloth.com - when I'm looking for offbeat, interesting or artsy fabric

    http://www.yokodana.com - bulk kimonofabric and Japanese fabric by the yard, reasonable, alot of silk too.
    http://www.kyotokimono.com - vintage Japanese fabric
    http://www.qejapan.com - Susan Faeder is based in VA. and does shows, mainly in the Eastern US.

    http://www.intfab.com - International Fabrics when I want authentic non-American fabric + I like Sue and Dorothy.
    http://www.africanfabriclady.com - based in Maine. African fabrics are tricky to mix, she's the only vendor I know who sells African solids.
    http://www.uniquespool.com - African fabric

    http://www.quilting-warehouse.com - learned about them here. Good prices on bolts, which is how they sell.
    http://www.cityquilter.com - they sell their own line of fabrics depicting NYC - where I'm from.
    http://www.fabricshack.com
    http://www.hancocks-paducah.com - always have good sale fabric at their site, never in the catalog.
    http://www.myhandstothee.com - I started buying from Anne McClintic 20+ years ago at QBL and like her alot. She vends at lots of shows and always has good looking fabric and lots of it.

    for reproduction fabrics:
    http://www.shopvintageandvogue.com - she has a sale on til the end of May, I think
    http://www.hooplapatterns.com - I like Froncie Quinn alot. She does shows around the country. She's primarily known as a museum licensee for antique museum patterns and templates.

    http://missouriquiltco.com/shop/index.php/deal-a-day

    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.
