I would definitely never add up the cost of all my sewing things. I do think at times that I have way to much "this or that" but then I do use it up before I get more. I TRY not to buy needless/purposeless items, but realistically it does happen. There are so many hobbies that are more expensive, but this is one that I love and my husband supports me in. :)

Good point - fishing and hunting can put food on the table, or produce something you can sell, as can quilts. Golf and bikes and cars won't keep you warm at night, let alone give you a meal!

That show is the Best of the Best! You can find anything and everything there! I have been going for years and can't wait to go every year! I booked a room 2 weeks after I cam back last year! I take 2 suitcases and seem to be enough as they are never overweight! LOL

Boy, were they mistaken.
