Its such a trickle down thing. I have a large stash and didn't really appreciate it that much until this past winter. With all the rising prices of fabrics in the past and future, have a new mind set of using it up, making do/substituting, gifting or trading with others. Do feel bad for the small brick and mortar stores trying to keep their heads above water. At $15 or more per yard currently, I'd have to find a new pastime.
