We have to relize that quilting is a hobby and ask your self how many quilts do you really need. We are maybe moving twards a hard economy right now and sky rocket prices on everything. I am going thru my stash and sorting out fabrics for quilting and will be saving for sewing clothing. I went to my favorite fabric outlet and got some really good deals this weekend. It isn't cheap fabric as it is quality discontinued fabric at a real bargain. My hubby is giving me $500.00 to get all the fabric, notions and things that I may need for quite some time.
