    Go to Connecting Threads online. The batiks are pretty good and the prices are better.

    Listen to goldendog, that is where I go sometimes. I know the price of batiks is getting a bit ridiculous.

    All of my F8's are now officially in the mail. If you do not receive by midweek let me know. Thanks!

    I can hardly wait to have grown up blocks returning home. Who's going to win a 'prize' for winning the race??? :)
    It's a sure thing it wouldn't be me! I've only sent out a few grown up blocks myself...
    Churn dash block to bibliostone
    pinwheel variation to Janetlmt
    flying bats to marytoddliz
    churn dash to missgigglewings
    churn dash to sandynorm

    Please let me know when they arrive

    i order from fabricdepot.com. you can order as little as 1/8 or 1/4 yard and they always have a sale going on, name brand fabrics also. i also order batik remnants from thousandsofbolts.com between $2-3 a piece. they sale hoffmann and bali batiks.

    yes the lqs batiks can give you sticker shock as well as the $10.99 & up fabric prices but my lqs is the closet fabric shop to me so i do shop there.... in bits & pieces.

I don't have any batik in my stash, and I know that I need some for the Boom, but I can't afford it at those prices.

    So, can ya'll help me out with a website or something I can order a 1/4 yard, or a 1/2?

    I also order from fabricdepot.com and thousands of bolts. It seems these are about the only places I can afford to buy fabric through anymore.

    Wow how crazy is that! $18.00 a yard and won't sell you less than a yard!

    no wonder so many people that used to sew have quit. I buy a lot of my fabric on ebay also, some prices are pretty good, but you really have to shop around.

    No squishes in the mail for me today, sending home 4 grown up blocks tomorrow.

    In the past few days I have received F8s from alikat110, Chigger Holler Quilter, Crafty3790, girlscouts1, Kris 2011, and quiltin'gran. I've also received completed blocks from Chigger Holler Quilter, ljdugas31, PokerDiva and Rn8or. Thanks to all for their beautiful work.
