I think there are a lot of us that like to collect fine fabrics. (and pet them now and again)

Since I started quilting again after being out of it for many years (about 20 I think). I have started my stash again. I can't go by any store that has it. I watch Joannes like a hawk. There is a small place in town and I hit it once a week incase of a markdown. Am collecting patterns online like crazy. I did keep all my old books but gave away my old stash. One of these days I will set it up orderly. Right now...it's still buy time!

That's a nice way to put that all our prices are going up also :) No worries from here yet, have a way to go to put a dent in these pretties :) just have to convince my auto that fab store is gone.... coming soon a Hobby Lobby.
OMG may be in trouble :)
Is there such a thing as a fabroligist ??

Wall Street Journal had an article today saying that cotton prices are going down again (for next year's crop).
Hmmm.... wonder if at some point the fabric manufacturers will LOWER their prices, when next year's cotton crop hits the market?
