We were shocked that the red dot section looked like it was the end of the sale weekend. I managed to get a few things, but when I asked the lady at the cutting table about it, she said that they wouldn't be getting in as much as a direct result of rising fabric prices!
Believe it or not, my husband turned to me and said, "Well, I'm glad you're a fabric hoarder."
Ahead of the gas prices, I suppose. It makes me sad to see our hobby getting so dang expensive. I'm glad I started hoarding too. I've also never been a crumb keeper, but heck, I'm going to be sewing them into little blocks and hanging on for scrappy stuff.
Great packages still coming in, btw!!
