It mightn't help, but Ireland is even worse. I have to order a lot of things from England! I agree that America is the Mecca for quilting, LOL.

I live in UK and i have bought from forum members. I have always found that even with postage costs most things work out cheaper. I also buy online from US, have just had an order for 6yds and with postage it came to £23, which is less than £4 a yard for good quality fabric

I get most of my fabric at the Festival of Quilts held in the NEC in Birmingham in August. Usually on mid August but I think it is early this year. Festival runs for 4 days from Thursday to Sunday.

Contact www.ConnectingThreads.com and ask for a catalog. Their prices are reasonable, fantastic selection, and their phone people are very helpful.
