I use acrylics and have also had the tubes for several years. Some are no longer useable, but most have a surprisingly long shelf life. I actually sewed first, then started painting. Got back into sewing, pretty much exclusively. Both are time eaters, but I think sewing/quilting is more time intensive.
I enjoy both, and hope to for a long time.
