I've just noticed that the width of the fabric on the bolt has gotten shorter. And only when measuring a purchased fat quarter, did I realize that something had changed. No one sent me the memo....LOL

I don't know what part of VA you are from but they are normally $2. to 2.50 here at the LQS some are less. I go to a couple who have special bins with cheaper ones in them.

I think they count on customers being too bad at math to multiply $3 by 4.

that what my local store charges.

Retirement sucks. :evil: :evil: I'm doing most of my shopping from my hefty stash. I knew that there was a reason why I bought so much fabric the last few years. :thumbup:

I'll check out the FQ's at the Jacksonville Quilt Fest which starts this Thursday and report back to you all.

The prices of cotton are dropping rapidly. I'll be curious to see if manufacturers pass that savings along to the customer or will they continue charging the high prices and take advantage of us.

There is a LQS in my area where the owner is hateful and obnoxious to most customers; unless you're one who drops $100+ every time you go in there. I finally had enough and with the last email she sent to me, I told her I wasn't coming back, why and to remove me from her mailing list. IF enough people would stand up to her, that crap would stop!
Personally,I am fed up with hateful people. It's easy to be nice and considerate to people. I do not intend to reward poor behavior nor poor business practices. I think the shop owners above are taking advantage thinking most people won't stop to figure out that they're being ripped off.

I dont buy Fat 1/4's I buy by the 1/2 yard, its not much more when fat 1/4's are $3 plus..and I will have extra for something else.

I would not pay $3.00 for a fat quarter. I would only pay $1.00 unless it was civil war fabrics and I might pay $2.00 for those.

glad it is NOT just me...I just went to 4 different shops in TX, OK and MO...all of them now have FQ's at $3.50 and UP...so much for that ever happening....not in MY life time...
