I'm not working and been out of a job for 4 yrs now,had a car accident and find it hard to do anything for a long time. I have been working from my stash and I could probably quilt for years before running out. I can't afford to go and buy fabric at LQS it's just gone up so high in price. I don't buy patterns or books there are so many nice things on here that I don't need to....I love this site.....
