I've got enough fabric here in my closets to last a lifetime for several folks and I just keep buying more and more. I'm pretty well set if it goes too high. But, what is the old saying.....What goes up.... must come down! And wherever there's a will ....there's a way!

That is why I have a stash.

Of course! I don't stop eating because the cost of food goes up :roll: :lol:

I agree completely

This is where I am. I sometimes bought fabric because it was "cute". Now, there will be a definite plan.

probably - I agree with others price rise - it's a fact of life

i've been collecting fabric for my retirement so now is the time.
Although i keep working a few days so I can buy more fabric. I am prepared for a cut back if need be.

Yes, I will still quilt as I have enuf stash probably for the rest of my life without buying if it gets too high!!
