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.

No way! It isn't gold!!!

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.

I bought a little of Ricky's fabric at a seminar I attended a few years ago. I can't tell you how I have made that fabric last; I have not wasted a bit and still have about a fat quarter. I treasure it for its beauty but even at the time (about 4 yrs. ago), I thought it was too expensive.

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.

Me, too!

Sorry not me either!
