I am a snowbird and we winter in Phoenix, spring and fall in BC and summers in Newfoundland. I have a machine in each home as well as my basic quilting supplies. I use coupons to buy fabric and notions at Joann's & Sew & Vac in Phoenix, Fabricland in Canada. Kits work plus I like to support the LQS where ever I am. I try not to hoard. Before we became snowbirds we sold our big house and the hardest part of the move was dealing with my stash! I had too much stuff. Will never do that to myself again. Keeping it simple makes life so much easier.
