When everyone first started talking about cotton prices last spring,I made tracks to Pauls.I bought and bought.Then I made alot of online orders.Hopefully I have enough fabric,batting,and thread to last through the winter,Then I got bitten by the bow tucks bug,so back to Pauls I went,I bought and bought fabs and pellon and of coarse some more quilting fabs. My DH says I;ve turned into a hoarder.

The only thing I would need is solids. I'm not a collector of that.

Fabric prices at the wholesale level have just taken another jump, most have gone up at least .25/yd for new stuff being ordered now. That's an increase just in 2010 of .65 to 1.00 dollar/yd. And I fear it isn't going to stop for awhile... :-( :-(

I said I would buy more until I used some of what I have. Dh and I went to a quilt show yesterday. We were just looking at the vendor booths and HE picked out some Christmas fabric I had to have. I made fun of him all day. And yes I added it to my collection.

I tell my husband that any new fabric I buy is to keep my old fabric company. Yesterday I bought some flannel to make a design wall and my husband talked me into some blue batik (looks like water). I picked up two pieces of fabric at the Humane Soc. Thrift Store (we work there and get goooood deals). Each piece of fabric was 3 yards long and it cost me $1.62 total. Guess I will continue working there just for the fabric. Lynn

I think there are a lot of us that like to collect fine fabrics. (and pet them now and again) Now I have an official title, thanks to you :D |
Goes with the territory, doesn't it! But you know, we all could much worse habits, with nothing to show for it, right! So, me, I stick to fabric & quilting now, & don't care what anyone else says! Most of them just tend to ahh, when they see what I do with all of it, lol....
