Great! What time? Do I need to bring anything? Cookies, cake, fat quarters???

All of those! We usually get together mid-morning; I make the coffee.

I spent $300 on Ebay last month and haven't started a single quilt or wallhanging from any of it. Thank goodness I don't have a husband or he would divorce me! I keep telling myself I have to STOP, but then I see something gorgeous on a fabric website or on Ebay..... HELP!!!! Where's Fabriholics Anonymous???!!!!

LOL This sounds so familiar! At times, I have to unsubscribe from the newsletters sent by craft stores, so I don't get to see what new beautiful fabrics they have and get tempted to take out my credit card again!
:twisted:

Buying fabric/piecing quilt tops is also my only vice:-)Don't drink, couldn't afford to smoke (if I wanted to) & don't use much gas.Just me & puter looking for bargains.Kind of a cheap hobby....that's my story & I'm sticking to it :-)

I see my stash as my retirement fund. I won't be able to afford to purchase much fabric after I quit working. I do try to use from my stash as much as possible, but it keeps growing. LOL

Happy to hear I am not the only one who's been building stash for retirement; I believe it is a way of saving money (LOL) material will cost more then.

Lol it's a small world. Quilting going strong around here, but shops few and far on the ground.
