Being a beginner and relatively new to all of this, my husband thought that quilting would be a "cheap" hobby. We would go to Wally World and buy several pieces of $2 a yard fabric. My mistake was taking him to a real quilt store. He commented, "Gee, everthing is sure expensive here. Look at this $9 a yard!". When I bought several yards of that fabric for the back of a quilt, he got a quick lesson that maybe this wasn't so cheap." (he also has begun making comments as he sees my stash begin to "grow" that wouldn't it be better to wait until I start a specific project to buy the fabric???? LOL) He's the best, though, and I can't complain. He has spent plenty on his hobbies and I am just getting started...... :lol:
