Unless it would create a problem with our budget I wouldn't worry about it. My DH's hobby is woodworking and I know that the money I spend on quilting is much, much less than what he spends.

I'm too scared to add it all up!

I don't want to know at all!

I kept track of "yards in" and "yards out" one year, just to prove that I really do use it up! (I do a LOT of charity sewing, and sometimes come home from our get-togethers with bags of scraps. I use the estimate of 3 yds / lb.) I almost never pay "retail" for anything, but still wouldn't want to keep track of $$ for a year!

Ditto. Before I started quilting I spent a LOT of money at Amazon. Mostly DVDS and books. I added that up once and I was SHOCKED! Don't want to know about Quilting stuff. BTW don't spend much at all at Amazon unless it is quilting stuff LOL

If I added it all up, it would depress me too much, then I wouldn't enjoy it so much.... Nope, don't want to know. :)

I do not keep track beause I really don't want to know. I like to think I spend less on my hobby than hubby does on his and want to keep it that way. LOL

No, can't possibly leave an evidence trail!

i did for 2 months. me and the boyfriend wanted to know who spent more on their hobby. he fixed 70's and older trucks. we counted everything we bought including my new machine and any tools he had to buy. he spent way more but he has stoped spending as much on his cars and has acctually bought me some fabric when he has had to buy something expenisve for one of the trucks.Ii think he kinda feels guilt about it now.

I do not want to know..It would put a huge damper on my hobby...For each weekend that I stay in and quilt I figure its about the same as if I went out to eat or shopping in a store buying junk I dod not need...or going to the movies after buying the popcorn, candy, drinks...its a small fortune...
