I almost had a heart attack!
 

Went up to Los Angeles for a mini-vacation with my BFF and she took me to a fabric shop. Beautiful modern fabrics, but most of them were over $18 per yard!! I couldn't believe it! They did have a $5 shelf and I was able to get a few yards there. Sheesh!

Crazy !!!!

I really had to gulp when I paid $13 a yard but it was so-o-o beautiful. I got just 1 yard.

That is sticker shock! Hope the prices settle down soon. I haven't purchased fabric for so long, but just a couple of days ago I did buy a kit that I've been looking at for over a year -- it was 50% off -- it must have been meant to be!

Yes... we've been paying these high prices all along.... and I must say I was surprised last month when I visited a Joann store in Bellingham and found fabrics were as high as $10-$15 per yard..US....

i know prices have gone up on fabrocs!!!

This is getting to be a very expensive hobby. I'm glad that I have a fair amount of fabric that was bought some years ago.

Time to start shopping at the thrift stores and finding nearly new cotton clothing to use in quilts.
Hooray for square dancing skirts!

Being on a fixed income I just can't afford the price of fabric most of the time. I would hazard a guess that at least 75% of my stash has come from thrift stores and yard sales. Very good bargains to be found if you look for them. In my area the best thrift stores for fabric/sewing/craft things are the ones near retirement complexes or developments.
