Fabric Club membership?

I am considering a 'saver' membership at one of our local fabric stores - I have usually only shopped there during their sales times and probably would have saved even more if I'd had the saver card. The only reason that I am thinking about joining is that their fabric (own store brand) has much improved in the last couple of years - it has a meatier hand and the colours are more vibrant. I even picked up a namebrand piece last time I was there. Notion sales are always good ones and recently they stocked Coats Star threads - plain and variegated. As for fabric clubs, I subscribed during one of the shophops specials to an 8fat quarter deal every month and I haven't been disappointed. Cynthia even sent me a pack of 8 half yard cuts one month of fabrics that I probably wouldn't have ordered otherwise (part of the Lapinski line) - I still don't know how I will use them. I opted not to pay by pay-pal and sent her post-dated cheques instead - does that still count towards the cost of stash-building? jennellh
