While I'm thrilled about not paying $325 a year for fabric (yikes!!), I ain't thrilled about the prices I've been seeing lately either. But one of my LQS has stated they will NOT raise their prices, because cotton fluctuates so much. They assured us the prices will come down when world cotton crops rebound (although I agree, the flooding in the south won't help, the truth is, most of this fabric is made from foreign cotton anyway). So I'm shopping sales and online for now, but when I can get to the LQS an hour away, I support them.
And who knew we could learn so much history from this board? Love it!!
