Batiks are getting expensive. I'm glad my stash has a lot of them. I using my stash more all the time. I should get to enjoy the fabrics I have collected.

That's what I was going to say. Several at Joanne's have spots with no color and it makes me nuts.

Mine here has gotten a bit out of my range... I have been buying more batiks on line. ... but batiks are sooo hard to buy online as all of the colors may not show up in the swatch ... too many times I have gotten surprised... but because of the pricing at my LQS much as I hate to do it .. I have been risking the occasional surprise in the colors and buying batiks on line .

I probably would have falling on the floor if she had said $18.99/yd.

You wouldn't want to come batik (or any fabric) at the LQS in Canada! Last time I was at Fabricland (somewhat like Joann's) they had batiks at $22 metre (39") Needless to say I buy all of mine online from the US. I love batiks as well but certainly can't afford to buy them here.

I'm getting sticker shock at any fabrics I run across lately. Hancock Fabrics had some though @ 40% off and they were $9.99/yd before the reduction - I'm glad I have a stash!
