Don't quit!! Keep learning. It is an expensive hobby, but it sounds as if you are a smart shopper. I look for sales at fabric & quilt shops. I also look for fabrics & quilting tools at garage sales & thrift stores. I've gotten lucky & found some really good garage sales where quilters were getting rid of some of their stash. And with quilting if you don't feel like quilting on a certain day...you don't have to, it will be there waiting for you.
