This makes me so sad. I will try to build up my stash but it will have to be from thrift shops etc. Before I started sewing again, I remembered patterns being about $3 each. When I looked for the first time about a year ago they were $16!!!! Thank goodness for the sales. Quilt fabric is so expensive as it is. Most are $9 per yard or more. I couldn't believe the prices in Australia. You girls are real troopers to continue quilting with those prices.
