She said yes everything cotton would jump in price as of 6/1 :evil: AND she said that they will jump quite a bit. Yippie :cry: When I asked her why, all she said is you can thank Washington. Don't worry, I'm not going to get into politics :wink: This is going to take a big toll on a lot of quilters, myself included. Sure wish I would win the big one so I could "lay in" a huge stash (or at least bigger than I have) before this happens :lol:
Honey, I know you said that you didn't want to go into the politics but would you please explain how Washington is impacting the cost of fabric? If we know the real reason instead of speculating, we may be able to formulate a response that is effective.
