Oh yes, I stocked up on fabric, still have two orders coming in. One is from a gift certificate from my son, so I used it right away before prices went up. Then, I'm going to make doll size or miniature, that way I get the best of both worlds.

I am using all my JoAnn coupons for batting unless I really need something desperately. That is why I bought so much this last month during all the sales. I have one and a half days to shop till 2010 is officially over, so I must leave right NOW, LOL.

My favorite LQS owner said all her 2011 order prices are the same. Possible .25 cent a yard increase late in 2011.

Rising cost will limit what I buy and how much. Being on a fixed income doesn't allow much extra. I will continue to quilt as long as my stash holds out and thats alot.

Quilters are fated to quilt, no matter the price. We may be quilting old clothes or leaves and grasses one of these days, but we'll be quilting. For sure! :)

Yes but shop wisely.

I will still quilt because I have enough stash to open my own fabric store... it will take me a gazillion years to use it all up. :)

Oh yes! Even if I have to visit friends' and family members' closets for fabric!!!hehehe

I will definitely keep quilting. I have a decent size stash and I always try to buy fabric on sale anyways. I may have to really like a new fabric or wait for a sale but I will still buy fabric.
