Everything is relative, isn't it?

But they do admire the finished projects - so I just don't bother them with the details.
And, if they do have an opinion, it's usually so contrary to yours that you're the one left with the glassy stare and pinched mouth!!

So, do I ignore her and purchase my fabric? I say, heck yes!!
You go girl !!! I'm absolutely with you. When we were raising our girls, my dh & I did without more times than I care to remember & now it's finally "our time". If I want more fabric (& can afford it) then that's exactly what I am going to do & I don't really lose sleep over what others think. I really don't make many quilts for us so everyone else really benefits from my "stash" of over abundant fabric.

This scenario reminds me of something my mom used to say: "Whose the mama?!" Don't let your daughter (or anyone else) put you on a guilt trip. Enjoy your new fabric!

yes, you should.
I have a 34 year old dd that thinks she is helping me by saying,"Do you really need that?"
Yes...yes, I do!
