I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I don't have new clothes (I recently moved across country so all my clothes are new to my new friends!) and I don't buy new furniture as my antiques are wonderful. I have been sewing since I was 4 yrs old (collecting SocSec now) and machine embroidery has been my hobby for 5 years (now that costs $$). I have some stash, and I recently cleaned out my sewing room and found 6 sets of fabric designated for quilts with all the fabric needed to finish them. I recently traveled to Oregon, was new to quilting and stopped at about 14 quilt shops! I found RED HAT Fabric, lots of sewing themed pieces, etc. Cost me $40 in postage to mail the fabric home (can you take a guess at how much $$ was in that box?) I can't even imagine adding up my receipts!! Why?? Unless it is for tax purposes, I just toss them. If you add them up, are upset by the total, you won't want to cut that lovely fabric, or you might quit! What are you thinking? Burn them! Now! Linda
