I've always been an economical shopper, of everything. It was how I was raised. So I'm always shopping the sales and online, and doing my best to get the highest quality for the best price. I have come across fabric I "had" to have, and actually bought it when I could. I'd love to shop the quilt shops, but I stay away because of too much temptation. If I'm not tempted to buy something out of my price range, then it's not a problem for me. But, LOL, I could do some serious damage in a good quilt shop with new lines out! But that's my "Id" speaking. My "ego" keeps me out of the wrong shops!!
