I will keep quilting but I will just be more selective on what I'm going to do. I have some stash but not enough until the end of time. I may stock up on batting and thread with Jo Ann coupons.

I'd get bored if I couldn't quilt.

Yes, but I am drawing from stash and I think as I run out I will quilt less unless our finances change. Also some of my friends switched to red work, wall hangings and way smaller quilts. Some of myI am also more actively looking for hand me down fabric or sales from people like estate or craigs list but sofar I am not impressed with what I found.

LOL I stopped having my hair colored and now my DH does it. Hehehehehe I have also decided to grow it long. No hair cuts for awhile.

Yes I will continue to quilt. Currently our shop is $18.95/metre (Canadian), so I buy what I need, when I need it. I don't foresee that changing.

I have enough stash to quilt until I die!

Since my husband and I live on his SSI of $600 a month I won't be sewing or quilting very often. I can't hardly afford to buy fabric now.My stash is almost completely gone now. Happy New Year to all of you.

Yes, but I'll be visiting JoAnn's and Hancock Fabrics more often.

That's what I have my stash for, hard times. LOL Actually I'll have to cut back on something else because I don't think I can quit. I'm addicted. PS Love your avatar. Did you use a pattern?
