Quilting is my only hobby, it may seem like it costs a lot, but my Hubby has a horse and everything that goes along with it, guns,ammo, guitars, music books, tools, fishing rods and reels, lures(which he has lost a few the first time out). He never says anything about how much anything related to quilting cost,and he does go with me sometimes to the LQS,so he knows, he just wants me to feel happy and satisfied, gotta LOVE him he's a keeper.
