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

always the BEST and sometimes the cheapest!

Though cheap is not always GOOD...the ones at connecting thread are a bit thin!

Click "Home" at top of this page. Then go to Members buy/sell/trade/-classified and see if someone has posted that they have batik fabric for sell.

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.

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.
