Wow - I hope she is wrong about $15 / yard but I fear it is probably coming. I would fail at total fabric abstinence - I just try to keep it under control and use as a treat to myself. I just love fabric too much & espcially purchasing in fabric collections to give it up!

And should I buy up sale fabrics now? Also, cotton clothing and underwear is supposedly going to really go up in price. Hard to figure the future out, isn't it?
