There was a time when I was busy having and raising babies that I could only buy enough fabric for the maternity, baby clothes, or quilt for the new little one. I am fortunate now to be retired and hubby still works a good job. I spend more than I should. More than I can ever live long enough to sew. Someday my daughter-in-law and granddaughter will inherit it all. I probably spend $200/month, sometimes more, especially when we go to springfield to see kids and kidletts. My favorite fabric store is there and they have an excellent selection of printed quilt back fabric up to 120 in wide.
I've been gone from this board for a year because we moved to a different state, bought a new home, and I've been absorbed trying to set up a new household, not to mention a new sewing studio!
