LOL P.S. all the quilts that keep us warm all winter is the out come of being the lucky guy married to a quilter.
Joann, I like the way you think, and your hubby sounds a lot like mine! We have this ongoing thing about who is the luckiest too, and years ago...many years ago, I started telling him on the phone...you love me, and he answered, you love me too! We do that A LOT! we don't even think about it, until somebody hears us and chuckles.
Barb, a roll of batting big enough for 20 quilts, wow, that must be some closet! lol! smart woman to stock up, though :wink:
alaskasunshine, that's a great story! My hubby calls my sewing room, "The Cave", lol. That's a really great story, so romantic, aww!!!

I say fabric. !!!You can buy the same fabric that you would get in a kit and you will get a lot more for your money.I learned that the hard way
Have fun shopping !!!
I love those gift certificates.My husband gives me a "universal gift certificate" (money) so I can use it in any quilt shop I want.That way, you can buy quilting gadgets as well as fabrics :-)
