I will keep on quilting but will always be looking for sales on any items I need. Quilting is a hobby that a person can't just stop for it is too rewarding. I think less fabric will be sold than before but in time people will adjust to it. I would really hate to see those on a fixed income have to give up quilting because of cost of fabric. I am sure many will be looking at garage sales, thrift stores etc. for fabric to quilt.

I will, I shop at goodwill for fabrics.

If all else fails I will raid my Sister and niece's closets. I have never seen two people with so many outfits. Some haven't even been worn.......LOL

I'll still buy fabric. I never pay full price for fabric anymore. I buy from online clearances and sales.

I'm with you!!! If it yells loud enough, I will find a way to add it to my "collection"

Of course I will still quilt. Silly question! I already had a good stash, and I've been stocking up since October when the cotton news story came out.

I can't imagine not quilting. Those who enjoy quilting will always find ways to acquire fabric at less than full retail price.

Absolutely! I may make fewer spur of the moment purchases, but will never stop quilting!

There's always mini quilts to make!

My sentiments exactly...Ill cut back on the food. And hubby can just eat some Kibbles and Bits with his two little dogs.

Well DUH!!! I sure didn't stop driving when gas went up. I am not in this to save money, I am in it for life, whatever fabric costs.
