I'm in a project starting mood today and I'm doing a bit of window shopping. Well,,, it's still "window shopping" until I actually buy something ;-) What are your favorite websites (with good service) for fabrics, patterns, books, etc.?

I've never shopped at Virginia Quilter (gotta fix that! ), but I can also vouch for EQuilter. Their service is really good. :)

These have really great sales, excellent service, and will let you order
1/2 yards. Quilters Quarter has a flat shipping fee of 4.99 and Heart of Dixie ships free on orders over $50. No extra handling charges either.
Honeyfork is another one that will stuff whatever they can in a priority envelope or box to keep the shipping cost as low as possible.

Karen-
I get my fabrics/batiks from two places- pretty much exclusively. I use the buy it now with Siri's of California on eBay-

Siri is really nice and sends the sweetest emails if you contact her for any reason- she's very nice. Very fairly priced fabrics and shipping- and fast, too.
The other online shop I love is-

or it might be

I can never remember if it has the "s" on pleasure or not. Both are cool shopping sites, but one has very reasonably priced fabrics. If you see a sale that says she'll fix the price on your invoice even tho the regular price shows up on your shopping cart you can trust Leslie (yep, same name!) to do exactly that. She also offers prompt shipping and fair charges for the shipping. I've never had any problems with her and several gals here on rctq have praised her as well - and praised Siri, too!
Happy shopping!

I have bought three times from

and once from

I thought the Virginia Quilter was slow shipping but not until I bought from Hancocks of Paducah and I live in Ky and that was the slowest shop I have ever seen. Now the Fat Quarter Shop, is fast as lightening when it comes to shipping. My two favorites at this point are VA quilter and Fat Quarter shop.
I was going to start a thread yesterday, but my server went down, entitled what is your favorite online shop for materials.

:))) I have been looking for days now, on the sites here recommended, the choise you have in America is amazing, and so cheap.......
I pay more then twice the price you have to pay for a yard.......... I will buy a few yards and look wat will be the P&P, but I think it will be cheaper all the way........
I loved the paper doll patterns by Karon, nice way to make a quiltblock with name and date for a birth........

Thanks Cindy I'm already signed up. Oh my! So many stores with Bohemian Chic fabric. I think I feel myself caving in. If I just buy a few FQ's I could fondle them anad well.. just look at them!
