I wish I could buy more at the LQS but I just would spend a lot of time sitting around getting depressed, because I would have nothing to sew. I am disabled due to kidney disease, I had taught school for 20 years. That is an awfully short career. My retirement and Social security almost give me the bare basics and pay the about 5,000 a year I have to pay for prescriptions, and then many more thousands to pay medical bills. I am grateful for Hancocks and JoAnns. because of them I can sew and quilt.
