Keep your eyes open for sales. I have found some very nice backing fabric in the "back room" sale room at the LQS. I am always looking for garage sales, but around here there aren't many with fabric. I always ask for gift cards for gift giving times. All that helps keep the expense down. My stash is quite large, and I have enough on hand to make 2 quilts that I have planned for the near future. Use your coupons at JoAnn's for backing. I'm feeling the pain for those who live in Europe and Canada. The prices are out of this world there. This hobby is too important to me to just give it up!!
