So what are we going to do about it??? Hopefully, everyone voted in November and will continue to vote and everyone must pray and ask the good Lord to help us. He is the ultimate help for us. This has been a very interesting discussion and I am so happy to see that so many feel like I do. God bless America.

I think I better go to Goodwill more often to look for useable quilt material.
With the wages that we as Americans demand, I don't see how things can get better here.
I am on Social Security and barely make ends meet now in 2010.
Almost dread seeing a new year come in.

Where I live, we have a Free store in town. everyone brings what they don't want anymore ( in good condition) and takes what they want. Donations are accepted and the store has a grant to operate on. I am not suggesting everyone start a free store ( but it would be a good idea) but there are ways to get free fabric. Trade clothes with friends, ask if anyone has clothing to get rid of and see if it can be re-used, ask your local school if you can use the gym or whatever to have a free "yard sale" and have people bring good useable clothes to trade for things they need. WE did this a few years ago and it was a big hit and lots of people found things they could give as Christmas gifts. We had other things besides clothing, but you get the idea. We don't have to quit quilting just because fabric has gone up and will keep going up. My grandmother made her quilts out of out grown clothes we wore, and her quilts were beautiful. Just don't give up or get discouraged. I think it is a mind set for some quilters: if they don't buy fabric from the quilt store and spend more, they aren't true quilters or their quilts aren't great. ( I heard this one from my friend who runs the fabric dept. at our drugstore.) Just change your mindset if you are thinking this way, and look for all the free fabric that's out there!
