Well, if folks have good jobs and can afford to absorb a huge increase in fabric costs - good for them...
or if, unlike this little ( :mrgreen: ) old lady, they have unlimited funds in retirement and can run to the LQS and buy buy buy just because they want it - good for them....

We are on the proverbial 'fixed income' - and according to odumdum there's no cost of living increase again this year (I'm sure you haven't noticed that the cost of groceries is going up and up and the SIZE of containers is going down and down - but you didn't notice so it doesn't count), and in the last week or so we are being warned that the price of gas is going sky high ... so even less 'disposable' income to spend on fun things - like quilting...
So will 'make do' with what I have - but be assured that I saw this coming and I have a HUGE stash, AND batting, AND backing, AND thread... so I'm good....
This discussion has been going on for almost this whole year, so nobody can say they didn't see it coming....
