I'm one of the lucky ones with a stash but I feel sorry for our new quilters. My guild trys to do small projects with FQ and use patterns with little waste.A piece 36x45 of warm & natural is $12.95! We have stores called Fabricland that sells a membership that gives a discount on many items and they also have members only sales so we keep anyone posted on this There are 2 quilt shops in the area and they give guild members a discount also both LQS donate some fabric if we are doing something charitable so we like to supportthem too.Everything has increased in price here so does our fabric but we still love our quilting!
