I will need to do my research on shops in that vicinity.
I met a woman from Australia about a year ago in a quilt shop in Urbana, Illinois. She said that fabric here is so much cheaper than fabric in Australia. Her friend that she was here visiting is letting her leave her clothing here and when she travels home her cases will be filled only with fabric. Next year when she comes back she's bringing empty(her clothes are already here) collapsable suitcases in a carryon so that she can fill them with fabric. I thought it was an excellent idea.
Why didn't I think of that???
