If you live in North Texas anywhere near the Eastern side, take a road trip to Bateville Arkansas and go to Marshall Dry Goods. Plan on buying a lot of fabric because the prices are GREAT---I bought batiks for $2.99 a yd. The money you save (if you buy enough) will pay or almost pay for the trip. You can also order online from them.

Marshall's has TONS of horse/western fabric.

fabric.com is the one i spend the most at, been buying from them for over 10 years. the best thing...free shipping after $35 and i can always find $35 worth to buy ;)
there are so many to choose from
it is a bit late in the month to start the june shophop, but i do believe there is another one in july...
go to fabshophop.com, there are usually about 180 different shops involved, you visit the shop on line, find a bunny, click on it and get credit for the find then they have drawings for prizes. it gives you the opportunity to check out lots of different shops, find great deals, and a huge abundance of different fabrics. and the prizes...well thats pretty neat too...at least a gift certificate...

Also when shopping on the internet-- watch for special deals :wink:

Some places offer free shipping from time-to-time , also free if you order more than ???

It's well worth the trip. If you go in on 14, go to the light where you can see a Dollar General up ahead on the right. Turn left at that light and follow that road until you see a Kroger store on your right (it's quite a ways) turn left at the very next light, I believe that's Main St. Go down several blocks and on the left you'll see a big white sign that says Marshalls. Tan metal bldgs. Plan on being there awhile and remember--ANYONE CAN SHOP ON THE WHOLESALE side. If you go to the very left, through the big doors, Marsye says that there are bolts back there that have just a few yards on them if you take the whole thing it's really cheap. Then, across the parking lot there's another bldg with a round red sign on the door. You really have to dig through in there but if you take the whole piece it's only $1 a pound and that's approx 4 yds. When I went we had to take everything out of the back of my Grand Cherokee, lay the fabric out flat then put the suitcases on top of it. I had the whole floor covered about 6" deep and only spent $197. I had somewhere between 230 and 240 yds of fabric.

p.s. They have a row of Husband Chairs right inside the door. He'll have several guys to talk to and commiserate with while waiting.
