Same here. If I didn't have some fabric and some gadgets to feed my creativity, I would have nothing but work. Besides that, there are a lot of quilters helping others through their quilting. I don't see it as just gadgets and fabric stash. It's what gives me something to look forward to. I have a job, work very long hours, and am not much of a spender. It kinda hurts a bit to come to a safe place, the place where we come together to support and encourage one another, and go away feeling guilty for having something that feeds the soul.
