Same here; large stash. Don't forget about yard sales & Goodwill/Salvation Army stores & really good sales.

Your in the same hardship boat as I am, mine is $674.00
a month , but I manage just fine by shopping the thrifty
shops and using old cloths that are still in good shape, so yes I'll always find a way to keep Quilting :thumbup:

Of course I will still quilt. I will just be more careful of what I buy.
I will not be able to buy just because I like it and maybe will use it down the road.

I am sure many will be looking at garage sales, thrift stores etc. for fabric to quilt.

I have found some very good fabrics from slightly used clothing from thrift stores, etc.

Yes I'm another one that finds great fabric from Thrift Stores.

I will go on and on. Only real bad habit I have, for now. One time a lady told me-I don't go to bar, I don't gamble, don't smoke so why not have one habit that don't hurt anyone.

May alter how much I buy, but I may need to find alternate sources. With the demographics of the American population ... I counting on that there may be a number of stashes liquidated in the next 20 or so years.

I have alot of fabric and I really need to make it into something. So...if the price goes too high, I can stash bust which I need to do anyway. However, I may buy less but will still buy. My resolve is hopelessly lacking when I say that I'm not going to buy more fabric. It is so pretty and makes me so happy:)
