A lot of people are buying from USA and posting and it is still cheaper...<br />Great bargains... that is always fun to find...<br />HugzFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497477051026460440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362065549221933573.post-63575534953320427522011-08-10T11:20:33.687-07:002011-08-10T11:20:33.687-07:00I work with a quilt ministry and we have to be ver...I work with a quilt ministry and we have to be very choosy shoppers - we definitely can't afford $13 a yard fabric! I've found that Joann's has started carrying a much better line of quilting fabric - usually about $10 a yard - and they have 40% off coupons routinely. And I subscribe to every online shop I can find, and watch their sales too. Recently I found fabric for about $2 a yard at Connecting Threads, and was very pleased with the quality that I received. So there are places to buy good quality quilting fabric without paying through the nose. It might not be the "designer name brand" stuff we all lust after - but it makes beautiful and useful quilts!Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362065549221933573.post-79468246304835555832011-08-09T11:39:16.225-07:002011-08-09T11:39:16.225-07:00Love your bundles!

Once in a great while, I'll purchase a fabric to finish something and pay the full price--so far no more than $10 a yard. Mostly though my fabrics are between $5 and $7 a yard mostly in the lower area. I used to like to buy $4 a yard, but that doesn't show up too much any more. I'll be making less and less quilts as the price keeps rising--maybe going back to hand quilting to make the process last longer. I've been on a shotgun finish stint, but that is going to have to go cause I can't see many quilts coming from $13 a yard!Pattilouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517413155581097319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362065549221933573.post-55199968328020119812011-08-08T20:11:44.315-07:002011-08-08T20:11:44.315-07:00I love the bundle of greens!

They must be laying eggs and then passing on. I refuse to pay full NEW price for fabrics - maybe if enough boycout, it will come down. My neice is stationed with hubby in South Korea where all the mills/factories are and they are still selling at under $2 yrd. So who is getting the profit??? And the whole cotton whoie! if the mills are still same price?Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362065549221933573.post-46704618815069617232011-08-08T20:09:26.926-07:002011-08-08T20:09:26.926-07:00Oh my.

I balked at $8 so don't see any purchases at $13. It's going to kill the quilting fabric business, IMHO.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.com
