    Jill, I bet that's expensive. I'm sure I would have to sell my first-born to be able to afford it.

      Jill, I asked Alex, and she suggested you check Amazon for silk fabrics.
      Like Lorchen said, I'll bet they are pricey!!

        Also take a look at Radiance fabrics from Robert Kaufman. I think they are 50/50 Cotton/Silk and really pretty!

              I get my dupioni silk from fabric.com, but they are an American company so don't know if they ship internationally or how expensive that would be. Free shipping in the US with $35 purchase! It never takes me long to meet that minimum! :wink:

                  it can be 2 different sources that can be very inexpensive - samplers of upholstery shop/industry, as well second hand via the internet.

                    I've made a couple of wholecloth quilts with it. It quilts up so beautifully! I also want to collect different colors and piece a quilt, but that's another down-the-road project because of lack of time.

                      Jill have you tried googling suppliers in Hong Kong? supurb silks come from that part of the world and would be much closer to you than us. The Aus magazine 'Inspirations' might be able to help you too http://www.countrybumpkin.com.au/?cPath=2
