Where you buy your fabric - HL, Joann's, Hancocks, etc. vs LQS. I buy fabric from whoever has what I LIKE and can AFFORD. Most of the time it is not at my LQS but I feel that I still support them because I take all my classes from them.We do get a discount coupon when we take a class and I usually do buy somethings with it - usually gadgets or attachments to my machine.
Personally, I could care less if my quilts last 100+years or more. I enjoy making them, enjoy giving them away, and especially enjoy the people I meet who love making quilts too. Life is too short NOT to enjoy what I do.
