Well, I guess what people have been posting is true. Fabric was much higher in Paducah this year. Even the fabric at Hancock's in the wareroom was a dollar more this year and less to choose from. I didn't buy a single piece in the back. The fabric in the main store was ten and eleven dollars. May have had some for nine.
Fat quarters at the vendors were higher than usual.
Fabric was just higher everywhere. The ladies from out of the country were not complaining. It was fabric heaven for them. Fabric is so high in the countries overseas. Plus their money goes further here. We met some of them at our hotel.
Please pray for the people in Paducah. The water is getting higher and they are having some flooding in some areas. Looks like the convention center may take on some water, even with the work that they did last year to keep this from happening. No one knew that it would get so high. The water is getting high on the flood walls. I hope and pray that the walls and gates will hold.

I just returned from the AQS show in Paducah and spent a month's salary in Hancock's of Paducah! The store is wonderful and Mr. Hancock and family are terrific! Have you ever been to the store? It is quite an experience.
