Thanks Gail. Good to see you. Is there no Joann (sp?) Fabrics around you anywhere? How about buying fabric online? I don't know about their prices but I looked at a few and they are almost always having sales of somekind. I put in "quilting fabric" in google. Lots there.
Yes, it could be bought on line, but the cost plus S & H makes it to expensive for me to buy.. I suspect that is the case with many people on fixed incomes. I only order online if that is the only way I can find a specific piece of fabric. The nearest place is Hancocks, about 20 mins away, and the neighborhood is not that nice. Hobby Lobby is over 30 mins away but is in a nice area. Both charge $2.00 or more per yard for the same fabrics Wal-Mart sells then you have to factor gas into it..making cost a problem yet again. There are not that many fabric stores in or around the Memphis area...I'm 20 miles outside of Memphis.
