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...

The fabric is upholstery weight canvas. Would you include canvas in your quilt tops? I wouldn't, so don't really see the need for selling fat quarters of it. Plus I don't think I'd pay $16 for a fat quarter either.

Nope!

And in the current economy, I think it would be silly to produce such a product.

This woman is an artist and that is why the prices are so high. This is stuff that is used for art work and upholstry not for quilting and sewing. If I had the money I would buy the material for wall art.
