I don't keep receipts, but I try to limit to about $500/year: almost all of my quilts are donated or gifted. I work full-time and money isn't the issue but management of resources. Thanks to 30 plus years of quilting my stash overfloweth and unless I have a very specific project in mind, I look a lot but seldom buy. I'm a great fan of supporting my LQS (plural) and once or twice I've ordered on line. I might do even better at resource management if I could organize stash a bit better: currently looks like A-bomb was detonated in the middle of my sewing area! Ah well...
