If WalMart is not happy about keeping their fabric depts., maybe they've decided to make more money from the ones they've kept. just a thought...
Ghostrider - I did have someone at the cutting table (behind it, cutting) tell me that every time a shipment comes into Keepsake, the price is a little higher. Not sure if this is true or not. Kind of like boiling a frog, if it goes up just a little, not as painful than if it goes up a lot.
I quilt with a much younger person. She just doesn't get it when I start mumbling when I see a bolt marked 9 dollars and up. I may not be ancient yet but I do remember quilt shop fabric at a much lower price...as many of us do, I'm sure.
I'm glad that I have a decent stash as well. Looking forward to slicing more up this summer to stitch back together. :)
