02-26-2012Not enough, but according to my husband, too much. He will never get why I NEED all the fabric I have been stashing for more than 30 years!
That's okay, I don't understand why he need 3 drills, 5 hammers and 10 saws, either!

Who needs justification? Quilting produces something, often quilts become family heirlooms in addition to keeping us warm.Originally Posted by pippa

It costs $10,000.00 pa to belong to one of our golf clubs (they want to keep the 'riff raff' out) so I will quote that price if anyone dare mention the cost of sewing...

I was spending waaaaaaaaaaaay too much on machines and fabrics. I have put myself on a "starvation diet". I decided that I need to use up what I have... which may be an impossible dream since I have so much. I am glad I have not been buying and dont plan to, with the problems in the Middle East and gas predicted to go sky high...I am lying low.

It would be interesting to know who conducted the survey, what questions they asked and what audience they targeted to get their results.

I wish I could spend as much on fabric as I do on my horse. Horse owners contribute something like 60 billion dollars a year to our economy.
