This is not Wal-Mart fabrics, and the "good" quilting fabrics have gone up in price. And getting that fabric up to Al. cost a lot more than it shipping to the regular states. I went to the site, beautiful fabrics, and if there were something I liked and couldn't find around me here in Ca., I would order it(and I probably will find something). Good fabrics and good thread, equal a good quality quilt, I have seen a lot of "junk" ones that the fabric came from WM and Jo Ann's, if you are going to quilt, use good stuff, otherwise, it shows it.

I took a cruise last year and ended up purchasing 3 "bear" kits. A year later, I am asking myself, what am I going to do with 3 bears, I am sure my family will take them off my hands once I complete them. I loved the shops.

Not just in Skagway - almost all Alaskan towns we visited had exquisite quilt shops - the best batik selection I have ever seen-I really added to my stash - even though we travelled in a teeny 19' motorhome! Fabric was 'stashed' everywhere. I think the long winters in Alaska must inspire quilters, but I loved it!
