With everthing else going up, I can't imagine why you'd think fabric wouldn't also. Things going up in price has just become a part of life.

You'll have to post a picture of your project. Our quilt group is making a bug jar quilt for a raffle to help the Peace Valley Nature Park.

That's true. Also true I shop for the best prices no matter if it's groceries,towels or furniture. No way I won't shop & buy the best fabric price.

I took a coupon to use at Hancocks this week. It is in a community about 30 miles from me so I don't get in there often.
The nothing special fabric I wanted was $20.00 a yard! That made me look at the rest of the fabrics around me and I was stunned. Even with the 40% off coupon I wasn't willing to pay the price. I won't be going back. The $2.00 a yard fabric at WalMart is looking really good to me at this point. Ann in TN

If you're looking for coordinating fabrics for a project, have you considered Whittles? ( http://whittlesfabrics.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi ) I think their highest price is $6.50 or $7.00 a yard, and you can shop by collection. They even mark down the leftovers to as low as $3 or $3.50 per yard once a line is almost gone. It's not this season's newest lines, but you will recognize the brand names. They just listed the Bittersweet line by Nancy Halvorsen, and I am trying to resist. I have been buying from them for a while and the service is good and shipping fast.

Myself, I can't believe how high the regular LQS prices have risen. And actually exclaimed out loud (shocking!!! a bad word slipped out of my mouth....LOL!) when I saw a bolt of fabric at Joann's for $13.99 a yard!!! Crazy.

Excuse me, but you sound like a "Pusher" to me...LOL, don't encourage those of us with a good size stash, to look at Whittles...really, no, don't make me...I REALLY don't NEED anything for the stash...don't make me go look... ;)
