    I will keep on quilting but will always be looking for sales on any items I need. Quilting is a hobby that a person can't just stop for it is too rewarding. I think less fabric will be sold than before but in time people will adjust to it. I would really hate to see those on a fixed income have to give up quilting because of cost of fabric. I am sure many will be looking at garage sales, thrift stores etc. for fabric to quilt.

    I will, I shop at goodwill for fabrics.

    If all else fails I will raid my Sister and niece's closets. I have never seen two people with so many outfits. Some haven't even been worn.......LOL

    I'll still buy fabric. I never pay full price for fabric anymore. I buy from online clearances and sales.

    I'm with you!!! If it yells loud enough, I will find a way to add it to my "collection"

    Of course I will still quilt. Silly question! I already had a good stash, and I've been stocking up since October when the cotton news story came out.

    I can't imagine not quilting. Those who enjoy quilting will always find ways to acquire fabric at less than full retail price.

    Absolutely! I may make fewer spur of the moment purchases, but will never stop quilting!

    Well DUH!!! I sure didn't stop driving when gas went up. I am not in this to save money, I am in it for life, whatever fabric costs.

    You want to join a guild? This is a good example of how a demo goes during a meeting.
