MadQuilter, very well said. A couple weeks ago my DH and I went on a few days away and I was in the area of quilt shops. Something I don't have around our home. I was feeling kind of bad about making purchases, but you stated so nicely that we don't have to stop buying completely. I have already started one of the kits I purchased. It is great having this thread. Makes me think about my purchases and if I really need the fabric.
