How much on quilt fabric and supplies? Who cares? It keeps me out of the bars :-D , from seeing a shrink, from redoing my whole house, and it makes me happy!
I don't really drink other than a twice weekly glass of wine, smoke, gamble, seldom go out to eat, buy expensive shoes I don't need,and I have saved to pay for the nursing home when that becomes necessary.
I do spoil friends and family and give plenty to church charity. It is nice to be able to give a little something to myself.

I use quicken for my household finances. I set up an account "quilting" and lo and behold I spent a little over two grand last year. Most of what I made, I gave away. Quilting is not an inexpensive hobby!

I don't really want to know. I keep trying to cut back on spending but when you post sales, I have to check them out and I usually find something to add to my stash. My DH said he wished he had a dollar for every time I said 'I wasn't going to buy any fabric this month. Then I said but there was a sale.' he would be rich. LOL

I have a journal that I keep track of what I bought, how many yards, price, date and store. Then record when a quilt is started, fabrics used, size, completed and cost of quilting. It is fun to go back and look at this from years ago.

OH, Dear Lord in Heaven help me I'm having a heart attack. Please don't ask that question. I really have been bad this year. I know I dropped over 400 just this weekend at the Hampton Roads Quilt Festival. I could have easily let another 400 loose.

Me too. My husband has a Lot of hardwood, and other kinds,
so much that he will never be able to use it all. I don't complain
about that and he doesn't care how much fabric I have. One
thing, I am a prolific quilter, so I'm using most all the time.
People used to ask me how much it cost to make a quilt.l I'd
say"oh it's kinda like making Christmas candy, you really don't
want to know"
