Definitely under $50 monthly. In the past year all I've bought is batting 2 or 3 meters at a time. Other than that I make do and can keep myself busy for some time. It helps that I work to the beat of my own drummer and like the challenge of making use of what I have, rather than spending money. Love to talk and share quilting ideas but hate shopping. It is far easier to buy what you perceive you need than tweak design decisions to make them work.
