i visited hobby lobby over the weekend and found the same thing...the fabrics i expected to be in the $7 range were all $9-$10 a yard...i was surprised and dismayed....did not buy any of them. visited Ben Franklin Crafts and they still have plenty to choose from with lower prices, although the new fabrics were higher. good thing i have a decent stash and the availability of the computer to on-line shop...can always find a good sale.
