So many world events are going to be driving prices up even more.. I'm building my stash now while I still can!

What are your thoughts on this?

My purchase of fabric has gone way down. IF I buy somehthing it's usually on sale. The cost has gone up so much along with gas, I have to make really sure I will use it. trying to work from my stash.

Last month I had a small windfall so after I paid everything I needed to and stocked my pantry I started to build up my stash. Now I have lots of fabric to keep me going, but still looking for more sales LOL. Never can have too much. I saw on some report today all prices are probably going to rise more due to all the flooding going on.

I have only been sewing sine last Sept...I have enough stash for at least a year or two...of course there are always one or two fabric colors missing... ; )

My favorite shop raised the prices 25% since January on the flat-folds I prefer to buy (mostly past season, so way below new retail).
It's a good year to sew up some of my stash. I've got enough I shouldn't ever have to buy fabric, but I can't resist! Brought home another 30+ yards today!

I have enough in my stash to weather a price rise however that won't stop me looking at sales.

I'm going through my whole room and rethinking my stash. Don't like the way prices are going!! My stuff is looking better and better...........

I've been stash building for a while now, mostly stuff that was on sale (bought a ton of batiks in Paducah). Looking at my stash right now it's more in need of a good organization than company :)

Organizing mine is on my list of things to do also, I just have a couple of quilts I need to finish first due to deadlines. I think I have enough fabric for awhile but always looking for sales. Bought some from Connecting Threads last night as they had Mirage and Solids on sale for 2.96 a yard which is 40% off.
