I love using a pattern for applique and piecing! I used to make them up myself, but I found that using a pattern saves me time and so it is worth the expense to buy them. I don't even know how many I have or the money it has cost me. But, I have purged them three times and either sold them or donated them to a thrift store that has a major food bank that does so much good in our comunity.
This isn't counting the rulers that I have bought and the booklets to go with them. OR the many many programs and cards for embroidery and quilting. But, like I tell other people who gasp at them... Hey! That is what I do! I am a quilter.
I just have to say one more thing... When I was in school I bought tons of books and paid for classes that cost me plenty! I see no reason that learning quilting couldn't be in that catagory. Right?
