We have had "highs" on several different items in the past few years. Yes, it has hurt it but we have survived. If anyone remembers during WWII we had to use Ration Stamps to acquire many items. If we ran out, we substituted or did without. My trek for fabric had been and will be to a Salvation Army store. I've bought bundles of beautiful fabric. But if there are no bundles, I go through clothing and find new or nearly new women's blouses, men's shirts, dresses and skirts. It is surpriseing what you can find there. It may not be enough fabric for a whole quilt, but mixed with something else some surprises can happen. So here's my route: turn left, turn right, then turn left again then right again until the sign appears then turn left into the parking lot and park if you can find an open spot. Want to join me one day?
