Unfortunately a lot of quilters and others with hobbies are under a budget crunch. Prices are going up on every thing from food to gas to necessities. That means our "wants" have to take a back seat. That does not mean we don't enjoy our hobbies. It just means we have to be more creative about how we get more fabric. I can see from the board that a lot of us gather, reuse, repurpose fabric. That is great.

This is an interesting topic. I have a great job so I don't feel guilty. Probably spent about $5,000 last year but with that being said I am a relatively new quilter, am building up my stash, bought a new machine that will allow me to grow into and with it. Currently I take my quilts to a longarmer to be quilted but I am hoping to learn on this new machine to be able to do my own. I pieced 6 quilts last year and have 2 WIPs currently with several in the que. SO, I don't really feel guilty about the amount. and....going to Paducah in a few weeks. I guess if I did not have such a good job and or we could not afford it...it would be a different story.
