I'm in Shock!!

In a LQS here, I fell for a beautiful pc of Kona Bay fabric. I looked at the price and it was $14.95 a yard. That puppy went back on the shelf so fast I got dizzy! LOL It was gorgeous but not that much! Yes, here JoAnn's does carry some fabric for $12.95 a yard. I shop sales on the net now or in my stash. I hate to think how high in price it may go for. But..... everything else is going up also, so there ya go. I am very fortunate that my DH has let me buy what I want for years, so I do have some stash to last for a long long time.

It depends where you go though? I go to the sales and was getting as low as $5 a metre. And the other day spotlight had a 40% off sale and I got this beautiful fabric for $12 a meter - it is just stunning... usually I would never spend that much :D

Most of our fabric is now made in China. My friend is a sales rep. and she was saying the quality is no way near what US use to make. Also, they include the salvage in the width measurement and some salvage is more than 1/2". Now I buy a little more then required by the pattern to cover this.
