We have one shop in the main town of Torre Del Mar, it is not a dedicated quilt shop but she does have a limited selection of fabric and notions etc..Its about half hours drive from here. The next one is in Malaga city, about 45 mins drive away..we have to pay between 14 and 18 euros a metre...way too expensive for my meagre quilting budget :cry:

Prices are about the same here, so it's mostly online for me. My nearest shop is in Jarnac, near Cognac so I can always kill 2 birds with 1 stone!!

Looks great and your son sure looks happy to have it!!! Hope your batting gets there soon, nothing like a young man to be breathing down your neck to have it finished!!!

Wow K3, didn´t you shift on that one. No wonder you have a happy smiling little one.

Nice quilt. Wish I could get into the hang of those but its just too much effort to sort out that great heap I get. I think Izy loves me cause I give them to her to sort out :D

Looks like you have the same problem in France as we do here in spain its a bummer trying to find nice fabric in a hurry. I buy of the net as well. found a nice one the other day have you tried Fabric Depot in the USA, good service and good quality fabrics, they had a sale on when I bought last week. Can recommend them

Oh, K!!!! I just checked this thread again today and found out that you have finished your son's quilt!! It is fabulous! And nothing is better than that great happy smile on his face!!

I hope your batting arrives soon so that you can get it finished for him.
