I use to crochet when my kids were young and I had little money to spare. Then I went to cross stitch. Then watercolor painting, then pottery making. Seems each new interest cost more then the next. Then I found quilting and never went back to the other hobbies. If I find another hobby I won't have any thought about getting rid of my quilting items. No use for them if I'm not doing it. Money is to make you happy to spend it, after bills are paid and savings account is full. LOL
