    You are in good company... I did the same exact thing you did... I had been drooling over a fabric... ordered from another site... only to find out they were sold out... then two days later I got the e- mail from Fabric.com... and the 20 percent off.... sure enough my fabric was in the clearance section... Mine should arrive tomorrow.

    117 pounds is close to $160 USD.

    ACK... you made me go look and I spent $40! The coupon didn't work for me, tho. I bought all $4.95 clearance fabrics so I don't know why it didn't work. I still am happy with the price I got!

    Whew! So glad I'm not the only one!

    I stopped by one of our LQS just to say hello and visit [a small husband n wife shop].........uhhhhhh I left after spending $43 or there abouts.

    So glad my hubby has his hobby and doesn't limit me and I don't say anything to him, but of course he doesn't see all that I come home with. LOL

    He did tell me several years ago when we build my quilting studio I didn't have very much fabric on my shelves, so I've been steadily adding to them and now have to find a place to put it all. roflol........a wonderful man!

    I heard you all have to pay a premium to get fabric shipped to you. What does a one pound package cost in US $$$?

    I think I have the same sickness and I'm pretty sure there is an epidemic.

    1€ = $1.40 on average. It fluctuates with the market but it's stayed around that for the two years we've been in Europe.
