if you shop online, pay attention to the shipping charges!
some shops ship free after a purchase of X amount of $

happy shopping!

Some of my best fabrics were found at thrift shops. Do not let those who discourage you from buying anywhere but the quilt shops influence you that much.

A friend frequents the estate sale auctions and has found many good purchases. I think she just checks the newspaper ads for estate sales.

Just be careful about getting inexpensive fabrics. You get what you pay for. I found that out the hard way with the "mystery pack" I bought with the ugliest fabric in it I have ever seen. But it's gonna make a beautiful strip quilt when I'm done with it!
