I went to Joann's today intending on getting fabric to make for my little girl that I'm expecting at the end of Dec.
They had a sale going on, $1 off per yard, and prices were $3.99 to $9.99 originally. So I started looking and all I was finding were $6, 7, even $8 a yard fabric!
I remarked to hubby that thats just about as expensive as quality fabric from quilt shops (thinking it was like $8 a yard) so I got online and looked up the LQS near me and they are selling their stuff at like $10 a yard.
I also found a print that I thought used to be maybe $3.99 a yard and the bolt was marked $5.99 a yard!

I agree, what has happened to our prices of good sales, and all of it. Even the LQS has gone up, $10 or more for most fabs, it really sucks. I am really bummed about it all. Guess this is one way I will just start using what I have and not buy any more until I do not have what I really need for sure......anyone else feel this way

Thanks everyone!
I'm half tempted to drive to a Wal-Mart that has bolts of fabric, because I believe they are still cheaper than Joann's even though I know they have increased their prices too.
