Sounds about right $8-$11 here.

I was working on a BOM at another shop, purchased the extra fabric for $9.50 per yard, then found the exact same fabric a week later atOld Town Quilts in Keller, Texas for $4.99! I go to her store first now.

Wow it is really getting expensive. I haven't been in our LQS lately. Last time I was in I bought probably 30 yards of Batik fabric that was on a great sale. It also happened to match a quilt top I had just finished. Did I feel like I had won the lottery??? It was marked down 40% and an extra 20% off that. I'm going to have to start digging into my stash. That is what it's for. There is no way I can pay what you guys out of the USA pay.

Wish I had a LQS then I could tell you. But heard today cotton price up 80% so they is going to make a gigantic difference.

$8 and up at my LQS

I think we all are having sticker shock this new year! Have you all received your copy of Keepsake Quilting??? A huge increase in prices. Very disheartening but I am happy to have a huge stash in my sewing room and only have to shop occasionally for fabric. Really hard on quilters as we need our fabric!!

$11/yard. I will be making scrap quilts and looking for sales.

LQS's around here are retailing from $9/yd for their older stuff up to $12/yd for the newest stuff coming in. (sale prices not included)
Due to worldwide demand for cotton increasing every year, and ongoing shortages as well as increases in global freight, the cost of dyes, the cost of printing and everything else increasing, most forecasters aren't seeing anything but continuing increases in the prices of fabric into the foreseeable future. Most shops are trying to hold down prices to the end consumer, but sooner or later you either have to raise prices or go broke and out of business. |
We quilters all have stashes to be used, and online sites can sell for less ... this will be hardest on LQS, they will be hurt most. So support your LQS !!
