You've said it better than I can.How can any local business make it,when prices are more than ppl can pay?
We've always lived on a budget & with DH retired, the buget has to come first.DH says "it means not living past our means".That has to go for everything, quilting included.
The higher prices go, the more I'll order on line.Not my first choice, but could be my only choice! JMO

Hate to say it but .....I love the LQS .....but , I have been buying more and more at on -line sales.
I just hate were this economy and cotton prices have taken me. I considered myself a commited consumer to my LQS, as I feel strongley about supporting local business.... but my wallet is smaller than it was ... and I am forced to balance the issues of online vs LQS.
