:D I stopped smoking so there is extra to spend on fabric. We don't eat out as much so that helps also. But yes I will cont to make quilts. :D I will use my stash & buy only what I need to, for ea quilt if necessary. And then I will try to catch Sales. :wink:

Of course I will still quilt. Quilting material is very expensive here in Germany anyway - maybe I will be more choosy when I buy fabrics in the future. Fortunately my stash is big enough to be busy for the next 20 years or so. I think I can never stop because I'm born to it! :-)

Got a newsletter from an Australian quilt store today, and their distributor had told them that the price of fabric would be going up worldwide by 70% in 2011 because of the worldwide shortage of cotton!
It's already $25 - $35 per metre over here, so a 70% increase??? Can see a lot of quilt shops going broke if they put the price of fabric up 70%.
