I have "heard" that cotton fabric will be "going up" - I guess this means that I will actually have to USE my stash!!!!!!

Just received an email from one of the local shops advertising a new line by Moda and the price is $11.49 a yard. This is the first time I have seen a price at $10 or more.:)

Sure cuts into being able to purchase for the stash. won't be happening:)

I ordered material from the internet and had it posted to me in SA, the same piece of material at our quilting shop was almost double the price i had paid, so we are way over #11.49 here if you do the conversion :cry:

I am not a big fan of ordering on line. I like to feel the fabric. Since you suggested this site, can I assume you have ordered and are happy with the quality?

Time to start doing more fabric shopping at Goodwill and yard sales. Large men's shirts, skirts and dresses cut apart yield a great deal of reusable fabric for very little cost.

How much to make a quilt? it adds up, pattern, fabric, batting thread,oh, I forgot labor. Its the greatest hobby and so rewarding but you can't sell them. Enjoy
