I know the wholesale price for Moda in our area is around $4.25 to $5.75 a yard. Batiks were higher. The shop only charges double compared to some of the other shops that are going for over $12 a yard. The shop I worked at quit buying Hoffman because freight charges were ridiculous.

I'm not in Kuwait. How much would a trip there cost? Oh yeh, I'm in California USA

Let all go on a quilt shop safari in Kuwait. Have fun on your travels.

LOL, just emailed a soldier in Kuwait about this conversation. He said he'd look around but I told him not to bother, shipping would kill me unless he smuggled it out in his duffel bag!!

A good looking soldier can sweet talk a flight attendant to carry it home for him probably.
|
I probably would have got rid of some clothes!
|
Oh my gosh, I am laughing at everyone of your suggestions. Nobody more creative than a quilter. LOL If there's a way to get our hands on fabrics, somebody will think of it.

When we traveled to Europe last April, we were limited to one suitcase each, with weight limits. And they were careful about carry-ons too.
