Ya know - I've been reading so much about fabric price increases, but I'm really not seeing it. I'm in Florida, the central west coast just below Tampa, and I do support (way, way too much according to my husband) my local quilt shops. Just went to one yesterday - they had just moved into a bigger space - and I didn't see ANY increase in the price of fabric there. Everything is still hanging right around $9.25 to $10.00 a yard. The same holds true for 2different LQS stores that I was in during the past week. I realize that is much more than when walmart carried fabric, but the quality is way, way better too. I am however seeing increases in prices at Hancocks and JoAnne's, and the quality of the fabrics they carry is also no where near as good as the fabric in the LQS's. I ALWAYS support the Quilt Shops. I SO wish I owned one!!!
