    I've fallen in love with the Windham Storybook VIII '30's prints - I've been searching and searching for charm packs in it and all I've been able to find is one on ebay -- for $16.95! :-( Granted it contains 51 prints, but doesn't this seem like a lot? Or am I just being too cheap?

    That is more than usual, but sellers on ebay can pretty much set their own prices :(

    It's Windham and there are 51 prints. Are there only 51 squares or are there duplicate squares?

    Why can't I even find this anywhere else? I usually like to compare prices, but all I've seen is yardage and one shop had a layer cake and one of the bigger rolls - but no charm squares. Only this one.

    If it's hard to find, that may be the reason for the higher price - because they can.

    Maybe wait and keep checking. Did you google it to see if anyone has it in a store? I have bought out of stock charms and they were not this much. APparently someone really wants it. GOod luck.

    The same seller also has it on etsy - same price. And I've googled and googled and googled! :shock: Wouldn't ya think SOMEBODY else would also have it for sale?! I think it's time for bed, my eyes are going cross-eyed.

    Is it possible that it never came as a charm pack - that this person had to cut it herself? I'm not sure about Windham, but I know that not all manufacturers do charm packs for all fabric lines, and some stores will cut their own.
