I haven't been in a LQS in so long.Mostly because there weren't any really close to me in GA.And now I have no clue where any are here in VA. Need to look up online and GPS. We(americans) have enjoyed lower prices on a lot of things that the rest of the world pays through the nose for, so I guess its our turn now. Just too bad it has to coincide with the recession. Makes it that much harder for the small businesses to continue

I guess its time to use up some of my stash I have instead of buying..our LQS fabric runs $9.50 to $10.50...way to much for charity quilts..maybe will have to do what our ancestor`s done and use some of our worn out clothes..

Hi, I work part time in a local quilt shop and we have been told that in 2011 the price of quilting cotton will go up at least $2. Fabric we received in December was priced at $10.50 a yard. The price for shippimg has doubled in the last year, so now it is the fabric. I am located in West Central Missouri. :P

My local quilt shop doesn't carry the most current seasonal lines, however, all of her fabrics are Quality Brands. With her batiks, solids and tone on tone, season doesn't matter. Selections are always good. Her fabrics are always $4.99 a yard, the year around. I was working on a BOM at another shop, purchased the extra fabric for $9.50 per yard, then found the exact same fabric a week later atOld Town Quilts in Keller, Texas for $4.99! I go to her store first now.

That's a great idea - recycle some cotton and silk clothing. I've done it sometimes when I've looked for specific colors and find cotton shirits. Our thrift stores have gone up on their prices too, but still good finds for my Linus quilts.
