Someone once had the nerve to ask me why I 'waste' so much money on fabric. I told him that it gives me an artistic outlet and something to do, and the final result is a quilt that will keep my family warm for years. I asked him then why he wasted his money on cigarettes that literally go up in smoke, cost more than my fabric and leaves nothing behind except black lungs and a bad stink. Lol, he sure felt foolish.
