I am 62 and don't expect to retire until 70! I love scrap quilts and applique quilts. I live about 40 miles from several fabric warehouses that have good fabric and sales. This past Friday and Sat my favorite warehouse had hundreds of bolts of beautiful good quality 100 % cotton for $2.25/yd. I had such fun stocking up and talking to all the other quilters who were there discussing what they would use their fabrics for. I usually buy 2 yds of each I chose and try to build up stash keeping in mind light, medium, and dark. Since I know I'll be working a long time to come, my motto has become less TV, more sewing! TV can really be a waste of quilting time for me!
