the day I pay 500.00 to make a quilt is when I would stop quilting...I complain when I paid 120.00 plus the cost of a class and then a book, which is the most I have paid for a quilt. There are so many free patterns on line or I can create my own. I like picking out my own fabrics...I have been learning alot. At first I had a very hard time choosing colors but its getting easier...and they all look good once they are put together. I get a thrill when finding wonderful fabric sales, I now buy everything on sale...thread, fabric, rulers etc....I love bargins...and my one rule...if its not on sale I do not get it.
