No New Fabric for YOU!!! (okay - so I'm not very good at doing the Seinfeld episode about soup). But truly, today was my first experience with seeing regular cotton quilt fabric for $14.85 a yard. It was pretty but just normal fabric with no special colors or anything. <sigh>
I'm planning on frequently and lovingly petting my stash and will force myself to NOT look at emails from quilting stores.

Well, JoJo, if the prices keep going up and our incomes don't I can see us exchanging larger pieces of fabric, not just HSTs. The last FQ I bought here in a quilting shop cost £3 ($4.81). It'll be a long time before the US catches up with the fabric prices in some other countries.From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood

That would be at the low end of the scale here in Canada too. I did hear on the news yesterday that the price of cotton is dropping! Hooray for quilters--not so good for cotton growers I guess.

I'm not complaining --- just surprised at how quickly everything seems to be going up.... well, except for my income that is. It has made me look differently at materials. Just last month I cut up several pairs of slacks that I would have normally donated to Goodwill or Salvation Army. I'm becoming much more frugile which actually is a good thing.

Everything sure is going up. I know I used to buy most of my backing fabrics and fabrics that I needed a large amount of when we would make our yearly trip to the US. Now it will not be as inexpensive as it used to be.Comment
