Just wondering where you get your fabric...
#51
Greetings from Phoenix, AZ
I buy most of my fabric from Walmart, especially David's Textile fabric, very good quality fabric. I also purchase fabric at JoAnne's only with their 40% off coupons. The local quilt shops: 35th Ave Sewing Shop and Mulqueens, both in Glendale, Arizona, have excellent fabric already paired together for you with complimentary and matching fabrics, they tend to be more expensive. Coupons from them also help.

Mostly on sale at JoAnns but I make sure that it isn't 'thin' fabric which they do have. Connecting Threads. And a somewhat local fabric place called M&L Fabrics in the Anaheim CA area ... love that place, they carry big name fabrics but way below LQS prices. And I am all about frugal.
I haven't purchased from eBay in years.

I am lucky to have 5-8 quilt shops near me and I make good use of all of them. (TOO good!!!) I also love to buy on line at several sites; my favorite? equilter.com. I never worry about not finding something I really need or want with all that's available on line. My stash is huge, but VERY organized. I cannot work in a mess. So while I make a mess when I am working, it gets "tidied up" frequently. I ripped up the carpet and have a wood floor now which is awesome. Swiffer Sweeper is all I need most of the time.

LQS, JoAnns, Hancocks, Thrift Stores, if I see a piece of fabric I like, I don't care where it is I buy it. I love LQS fabric but that isn't the only fabric in the world for me. Opps, I forgot Hobby Lobby also.

It's interesting that a lot of you say you getyour material at the charity stores, as that is one place that you would very rarely find any decent material here. There is sometimes old curtains and half done embroideries and ugly nylon material, but almost never to find the stashes of lovely cottons that you folk end up with - a very different culture.

I love getting fabric from C.T. Also from Walmart [at least till they take it out,maybe in June:(] Also I got to Handcocks, when on sale only. The one I love to visit and get lost in is MARY JOS CLOTH in NC. You can look at the site. Any type of cloth you can imagine. She buys and sells all over the world. There are pics too. Check It Out!!
