Sounds to me like you need to: 1) Explain what an "allowance" is for; or 2) Hide your stash!!!! or ?? adopt her out to someone who can afford yet another fabriholic??? Funny! and good luck to you! By the way, the bags are adorable!

let her start her own stash

give her an allowance for fabric tell her she has to stay out of yours

My 12 yo daughter has been bit by the quilting bug and is actually using fabric from my stash. She actually made me cut up some of my prettys so she could make bags. She started sewing in August and now asks only a weekly basis to go to LQS or just goes down and picks which ones she wants to use for her current bag project. :shock:

How does a house deal with 2 fabricholics? I'm not sure my budget will like it, I know its not the end of the world but she wants me to cut my fabric.

Seriously, her bags are great and she is going to be starting her first lap quilt today.

I think she is a real cutie :) . and very talented looks like too. Well maybe she can earn some cash if she sells her bags and she can put back money so she can get what she wants. But remember MOM lol lol your suppose to share and share alike and also she has a wonderful teacher. And also too just think after your fabric is getting down both of you can go and get some more and have fun shopping together.....

Beautiful daughter and the bag is so cute. She did a really good job. I am thinking of the fun you two will share throughout your lifetime with this hobby. Lucky you!!! Besides, wouldn't she "inherit" your stash someday? LOL!

what fun-
she is really quite a sewer. this gives me a new insight into my own "whirling dervish" sewing projects on my mother's machine, with her supplies and her fabric when I was a girl...(!!)
she never said a word, but was just always there when I needed her :-D :-D
what a great thought to carry through my day
if you need any extra fabric for her, just drop me a PM. I would love to help w/ another generation of sewers

Nice little lady!!!! :wink:
great she joines you in quilting, and just be patient....when she is a grown-up, she will have her own stash and it could be the other way around then .............. :wink: :lol: :lol:

Adorable daughter and adorable bag! What a great quilting partner!

WOW That is sew kool to have a DD that loves what you do. My DGD (10) is showing signs of being bitten by the bug. What fun you both will have. She is well on her way. Pretty girl, Cute bag. Lots of good suggestions on how to help her get her own stash. GOD bless you both. Happy Sewing. BrendaK

This gal has talent. Tell her to keep it up. Maybe you could each have your own fabric stash.
