is there a site where one can find these conversions? Jan in VA |
It isn't going to get any better now with all the flooding of the cotton fields along the Mississippi. My heart goes out to those farmers losing their crops.

Stick around, there are some online store already charging $14.00 a yard (not meter). I won't bad mouth them, but at the rate of the increase of cotton, I'm buying from the place where I can get the best bang for my buck. Don't insult my intelligence when I see someone sell Moda single fat quarters for $2.25 (which is still high) and other quilt stores who sell Moda for $3.50 a fat quarter. If your reading this, you know who you are. Your going to run your cusotmer's right back out the door.

Interesting! The things you can learn here!
|
noticed yesterday that my quilt shop is now charging up to $12.95 a yard ... now we will really appreciate sales and remnant bins ... prices are not going to go down!

Pab58, The information that you are passing on to us is interesting. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

This is why I love this Forum! You learn everything from tidbits about the Civil War to the new high prices of fabric.

My daughter saw a tablerunner/placemats pattern she wants me to make. I know I have fabric in my stash that would look great, but she wants exactly what is in the picture! So I paid $10.25 a yard online!
