I guess it's a hot topic... because so far three major fabric manufacturers have released statements regarding prices.

Here is the notice we received today from Robert Kaufman.

"To Our Valued Customers,

As you may be aware the cost of cotton has risen steadily over the past 12 months resulting in our having to increase our prices for 2011.

Despite these events, we at Robert Kaufman remain committed to providing you with premium designs made of the finest quality cotton fabric that you have come to expect from our company. We will continue to seek out the best mill partners that share in our vision of superior craftsmanship and innovation. We will not sacrifice nor compromise our standards as a result of market forces that are beyond our control. Since 1942, our dedication to this vision and to you our customers has established Robert Kaufman as a leading purveyor of fine fabrics in the textile community.

We truly appreciate your loyalty and thank you for your support of Robert Kaufman Fabrics."

Thanks!

Thank you for passing this on to us :D:D:D

Thanks for sharing.

That is very nice of you to post this...I have been making a few more purchases now, when on sale so that I don't feel the pinch quite so much.
