Quilting /sewing is my relaxation. I can afford what I do, I just am pretty frugal and don't like to pay some of the prices I have seen. I have enough stash that I could quilt/sew for a couple of years I think. It is just that I have been making quite a lot lately and it adds up quickly if you got to buy certain backing and such. It is all good though. I am not planning on giving it up anytime soon. I look for bargains everywhere I go. I shop sales, used coupons,I hope to go to some garage sales this year and find some treasures there. Bottom line-I LOVE A BARGAIN ON MATERIAL! Who doesn't!
