I visited another one of my favorite quilt shops yesterday, Holly's Quilt Cabin. They are expanding into the space next door. I miss Great American Quilt Factory, but Holly's was my second favorite so I'm learning to adjust. I still visit the other store that will remain nameless because it's closer, but only because of that fact.
I got sticker shock, though!
I saw fabrics priced at $11.35/yd. Ouch! No one has to explain cotton prices, etc. I've heard the news.
How many of us will be changing our fabric buying habits? I may be forced to use my stash! I know I've already started changing my habits for other reasons, but I still like to buy fabric just because. It is a guilty pleasure. I don't think there will be any just because purchases any more.....
I allowed myself to be tempted by a pattern, though. Counterpoint I'm debating whether or not I can use it for my Spoonflower vampire fabric. I may try it out first on the yard of the regular cotton piece that I have first.
What a shame. I've had to really cut back on my fabric purchases lately, too. I do have a pretty extensive stash, but sometimes I just can't find the right thing in it.
ReplyDeleteand i thought $10.50 for batiks was bad - makes last year's fabric purchases (that i'm still paying interest on) look better and better...
