Several shops in WV, just did a special fabric for a shop hop. It's regional, but sure din't cost anything like that. They also did a batik in conjunction with shops in OH and KY. It was gorgeous, themed to those 3 states and cost nothing like that either!

Come on, we're talking about the Northern Berkshires, land of the nutjobs, East. They must have a lot more disposable income up "in them thar hills". LOL.

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

Maybe....and a very big maybe if I saw a piece that would be used as art-stretched on a canvas and put on the wall. I would never buy a piece to cut or sew with at that price.

One man had his prize racehorse on fabric he used to upholster chairs for his office. Her prices are realistic if you want to design your own creation.
I understand wedding scenes and babies at different ages, sure. That's cool custom one-of-a-kind stuff. But the article is saying it's just grass and woodland stuff. Yeah, native to the area, cool. But $60/yd? Ha.
