Fabric Or Chocolate, I Pick Fabric!

If I had to pick between fabric and chocolate, I would most defiantly pick FABRIC!!  The beautiful colors, the endless projects that could be made out of it.  The one thing I wish I had more of?  Fabric stores close by that sell designer fabrics.  


Online shopping is an option, but most store make you buy fabric by the yard.  At $8-$10 per yard, that can really take a bite out of your wallet.  For big projects it's okay because you normally would buy a large amount anyway, but what if you are a quilter or want to make a small project?  


I found a AWESOME store online that not only sells wonderful designer fabrics at a great price, but they will sell you fabric starting at 1/8 of a yard!!!.  It's like a dream come true :-D
