Edited: Fabric used was incorrect - it stands at 130 1/8 yards.
I spent the last week in Singapore and Shanghai for a work trip so didn't have any time to use any fabric. I took some cross-stitch with me, but only worked on it on the plane on the way home. While I was gone, my mom did add a FQ to my stash for our bee birthdays. I will give it to the b-day girl tomorrow, so it will come right back off next week.
While in Singapore, we did see one shop with fabric -- silk! It was really beautiful, but you pay for beauty at $150/yard (and that's the conversion to American dollars)! I didn't see any that I couldn't live without for that price.
In China, the first store I saw with fabric was laid out a little bit differently....
but the next one looked a little more traditional. The interesting thing about the second store is that it wasn't cotton fabric, but a thick canvas type fabric. Must be used for upholstery or draperies?
All in all, it was a good trip but I am really glad to be home and looking forward to doing some quilting this week!
