You can still get them on-line and print them off. I never get them in the mail either, and everytime I go to the store, they are out of the flyers that have the coupons. You can get the current flyer on-line and print the coupon.

I'm picky...Most of what I got were some oriental prints ,made in Japan or Korea...the quality is wonderful...I got a lot of Quilters Flannel, some baby flannels...I put lots back because I didn't like the feel of them...

If you stick with their premium quilting fabrics you can't go wrong-they are currently 30% off (plus another 10% with the coupon). However, I have used their Keepsake Calico fabrics for years, and unless you are making an heirloom or special quilt, those fabrics are just fine. Many of the people on this board are still developing their skills (and many are still beginners, and for the price (especially when on sale-usually 40% off) the Keepsake Calico is still a good fabric. The only thing I noticed with some of them is that the very light colors might be a little see-thru (especially when paired with a dark-make sure the dark 1/4" seam doesn't show thru the light), but really, for the everyday quilt, for the price, it is fine. Just my opinion!

Just about doubled my stash at Joann's...not that my stash is all that big to begin with, but great prices. yes, you do have to watch the quality, but that's true anywhere, about anything.

Really some pretty nice fabric.
Will try to find camera and take pic. later.

Was visitng DSIL in W VA for a few days and we stopped at local Joanns that had 6.99 fabric red tagged at $3 per yd. with a sign for 50% off. I doubled checked with fabric cutter that final price would be 1.50, and answer was Yes! I'm on a No Buying Fabric mode right now until I use up some of my big stash but couldn't pass up 6 1/2 yds. of a white with pastel dots for less than $10. This fabric will work as background and/or backing for the scrappy pastel quilts I have planned. Home today and a trip to my local Joann's this week to see how much more light or neutral fabrics I can find at that 1.50 price. May in Jersey
