I won't pay that price at Joann's. The quality is not there. I'll pay it at LQS or for good brands online.
The cotton price increase is not only due to the US drought, unfortunately India and Pakistan are now the major cotton suppliers. Floods there have driven up prices. Most quilting & sewing fabrics are made overseas now in China and Korea. The chickens have come home to roost ! :(
