I know the cost of everything is going up and it makes me concerned that quilting will be going out as the young people cannot afford it and neither can the people on fixed incomes I am glad that at one time I dubscribed to every quilting magazine out there and I kept them all so now I really have all kinds of patterns and find most of them better than the new ones also if I want a new pattern the fabric companies has some free ones I use to really enjoy block of the month when it was 10.00 a month but who can afford them in this day just thankful for my stash both patterns and fabric I only buy what I need to finish a project
