I love Batiks. They are so easy to work with. Cheap Batik is an oxymoron though, lol.

http://batiksplus.com http://stitch-n-frame.net always the BEST and sometimes the cheapest! Though cheap is not always GOOD...the ones at connecting thread are a bit thin! |

www.connectingthreads.com has some. The quilt that is beside my name on this board is all batiks. I fell in love with them and when I'm shopping I'll pick up a yard or two just to have them. I have a large clear plastic tote full of batiks for future projects that I haven't dreamed up yet. I bought my quilt batiks at a little quilt shop in Bentonville, AR. I don't think they do mail order and since I've moved away I surely miss them. They also introduced me to Precencia threads. I love those threads, too.

Beware of inexpensive batiks! Cheaper isn't always better. The fabric quality and color fastness of dyes is not always good in the less expensive batiks. I would definitely look on the board classifieds first as those fabrics are usually LQS quality. Can't wait to see pics of your project!

Here's the stained glass dragonflies that I just did. I used batiks that I found while on a trip with my husband. I admit I didn't look at the price tag because I loved them so much. I added some batik scraps that I had left from my avatar quilt and I love the result. |
Lois, that is a beautiful quilt!

I've used the Connecting Threads batik sets. You can buy different combination set either strips, quarters etc. I found the fabric was really nice.

Hoffman's of Padukah is having a sale. My material is on it's way. The service is great. I ordered from them before. Also Seawatch fabrics. com has pages and pages of Batics.
