Ditto! Or the " I have no money" line.
These statements make me feel guilty due to what I do have. I love to help a fellow quilter out if they need it. And I do. But...there is a fine line in helping and full fledge supporting their hobby. If I could not afford to sew or quilt, I would not expect anyone else to support my hobby. I will help anyone that needs help if I can though. Fully supporting them, no.
Exactly. When we had little extra money, I used a Joanne's credit card for the points and waited for the 15th of each month to get the gift card in the mail in order to shop.
I would never ever ever have asked anyone for fabric. Nor would I have hinted I'd like some.
Just a turn off for me...
