Just went to hobby lobby today, saw some really pretty fabric. It was 30% off, still $6.99 a yd. Original price was $9.99, so I guess Hobby Lobby has already raised their prices. I only needed a yd. of 4 colors, which is what I got, but before I would have gotten at least 2 or 3 yds each.

I will be buying on sale and looking for bargains.
But I do agree - with the don't know- won't hurt

I am so lucky. I have a very wonderful thoughtful DH. My last fabric hunting trip he gave me a $100, the keys to his truck told me the tank was full, to have fun. He knows its something i love so he is ok with it since it makes me happy.
