How much on quilt fabric and supplies? Who cares? It keeps me out of the bars :-D , from seeing a shrink, from redoing my whole house, and it makes me happy!
I don't really drink other than a twice weekly glass of wine, smoke, gamble, seldom go out to eat, buy expensive shoes I don't need,and I have saved to pay for the nursing home when that becomes necessary.
I do spoil friends and family and give plenty to church charity. It is nice to be able to give a little something to myself.

I use quicken for my household finances. I set up an account "quilting" and lo and behold I spent a little over two grand last year. Most of what I made, I gave away. Quilting is not an inexpensive hobby!

I don't really want to know. I keep trying to cut back on spending but when you post sales, I have to check them out and I usually find something to add to my stash. My DH said he wished he had a dollar for every time I said 'I wasn't going to buy any fabric this month. Then I said but there was a sale.' he would be rich. LOL

I have a journal that I keep track of what I bought, how many yards, price, date and store. Then record when a quilt is started, fabrics used, size, completed and cost of quilting. It is fun to go back and look at this from years ago.

I run Quicken, so I know exactly where my money goes & what I spend it on. Being retired, I can spend more on my gardening & quilting as I don't have to buy clothes.

OH, Dear Lord in Heaven help me I'm having a heart attack. Please don't ask that question. I really have been bad this year. I know I dropped over 400 just this weekend at the Hampton Roads Quilt Festival. I could have easily let another 400 loose.

I don't realy care, becausee I have my own money, but my Hubby doesn't care either in fact he incourages me to buy what I want.

I don't want to know...I just consider it a hobby, I enjoy it thoroughly, and I deserve it. Only if I were starving would I consider not buying fabric, maybe for a week or so. lol

Me too. My husband has a Lot of hardwood, and other kinds,
so much that he will never be able to use it all. I don't complain
about that and he doesn't care how much fabric I have. One
thing, I am a prolific quilter, so I'm using most all the time.
People used to ask me how much it cost to make a quilt.l I'd
say"oh it's kinda like making Christmas candy, you really don't
want to know"

ohhhhhh no do I have to think about that ??????? lol smiles..........
