    My LQS told me today to expect two more increases in prices.

    One in June and December. :(

    Well good thing I'm going to Paducah in April, I'll stock up there at the show, at Hancocks, etc. Hopfully I'll have enough stash that I won't NEED to buy more for a long time.

    Note I said "NEED" and not "be tempted to". Two entirely different things :)

    I'm a little confused about all this. I have seen some very good prices online for nice fabric.
    I just returned from Hawaii and they had wonderful stuff for no more than 4.50 a yard.
    But I haven't been in my LQS lately.

    Owner of LQS near me told me Saturday that she was told by suppliers that cotton should rise 120% by Dec. That's not a typo -120%.

    I'm okay on fabric, but I'm now working on stocking up on batting and tread. Also stocking up on t-shirts & socks for DH. Those big & tall ones are getting harder to find. :)
