Will definitely make my LQS sales this year for sure. She has 2 a year, January and June. Stock up for winter quilting projects. :thumbup:

How do you cut plex-glass?

QBeth

Normally you cut plexi-glass with a SkillSaw but with the round blade put in backwards. This avoids splintering it(?). Unless you're very good with a saw, you might not get the accuracy you need for a ruler. Then, there's the problem of adding accurate markings.

I tried getting a ruler cut at a local window place but it came back an 1/8" off. Didn't go back there again!

I am with you. Been using my stash for the past year, buying ONLY what I need to finish a quilt, maybe backing on sale of course, I refuse to pay retail $10.00 yd for backing.

I guess I'd better get going to my fav LQS and stock up - for the rest of time! Prices always go up, never down. Now let me see - I need at least 4 yds of the basics, batiks,30's repros, etc, etc. Now this is a challenge!

In Alabama we had too much rain and it was very difficult for farmers to get in the field and harvest their crop.

I always buy on sale anyway. Have to. So this won't change much. I have also been using my stash and just getting fabrics I need to finish. However I have given in to pressure from the other women in the humane society I volunteer at and am going to start making doggy belly bands and crate pads and covers to sell. This is going to really put my costs up from where I wanted to keep them.

This brings to mind the fact that, even when prices rise for commodities, it is not the farmer that benefits. So the extra we pay does not translate into higher return for the producer of the raw materials. It seems the middlemen get more.
