I get everything on sale or clearance. it takes alot of patience for me to wait long enough to collect everything I need this way, but it is soooo worth it to be able to make three or four times as many quilts! I just finished a king size with joann/hobbylobby supplies for around 85$. my baby quilts I can do for around 10$ to 15$
I LOVE being able to show DH how much money I SAVE and move the focus from the spend over to the REWARDS of making a quilt :) and show him how HAPPY it makes me to be able to enjoy the making of and the giving of such an amazing gift!!!
