My quilting group went on a trip to Belfast on Monday and the lady in the quilting shop told us to expect an increase in the cost of fabric. 33 1/3%. Yes that is the increase.

That sounds like they aren't waiting for their suppliers to raise prices -- they are taking advantage of "replacement prices"!
