My DH and I took a day trip today to Va. First we went to Mabry Mills. Then we went on over to Floyd to School house fabrics. They do have a lot of fabric. However, I did not think it was worth my drive. If I go back I will have save up a lot money. There really was not anything under $7 a yard. I am sorry but I am tight with my money. I also look for deals and savings. I did not see any deals. So weekend afte next I will be making a trip to quilting quest which is a lot closer to home.

Amazing how the price of fabric is going up. I had a hard time finding fabric in Florida that was less then $10.00 a yard. That is still better then the $38.00 per meter fabric was when I was in Australia 2 years ago!!

I bought some of the new "Bliss" fabric for boarders today and it was $10.70 a yard.....If I didn't need this specifically I wouldn't have spend the money. I hope they (the fabric God's) don't price us out of fabric..our choices will have to be very specific with the high cost

I'm a bit confused these days with prices. Online shops have fabric so much cheaper!! And it's top quality so I've been doing a lot of shopping online :D
Don't get me wrong, I love shopping at the LQS but not at some of the prices :(
Must be the overhead, which is understandable but in this economy I have to find bargains.

My mom and I took a trip to Schoolhouse not too long ago. I found only two pieces of fabric and they were not for quilting. My mom says that they used to have wonderful prices but for me, too high now. They do have LOTS of quilting fabrics though.
