I dont live in a city with lots of fabric stores to choose from, so I have found an online store that just blows me away with their selection. It is called http://www.iluvfabrix.com.
They always seem to have a sale going on and their fabrics are just gorgeous. If you want to take a look, click the following link (sorry if it doesnt work). It is: http://www.iluvfabrix.com/produts.php
