If at all possible.

I can't stop. It's a compulsion. At least I have something to show for my addiction.. QUILTS!
|
Yes, I will continue to quilt. I think I have a decent size stash now, thanks to friends liquidating their stash, a couple of super good ebay purchases and my DH's encouraging shopping trip on NYD, I think I'm set for quite away. Yes, most of my quilts will be scrappy, as I was not overly picky on color since the price was right, but hey, I love scrappy!
Thank goodness for a little extra Christmas money, I'm now set on batting too! |
yes, what else could I do with my time.

Too true!!!!!!!! |
Yes, I will absolutely still quilt. I am on a mission this year to use 90% from my stash anyways, so unless it's a fabric I absolutely need to complete a project, the rising costs won't bother me.
I am also counting my blessings we're in a financial positon now that both DH and I can "indulge" our hobbies a little more than we have in the past..and his playing golf ain't cheap, LOL. Tanesha |

I have so much fabric, that I will buy those extra pieces to fill in. And I will have to pick out batting. Butttt.....I will look for sales like I always do.

I also will continue to quilt. I have a stash, but not that extensive. We can resort to the ways of the frontier men and women. Recycle, reuse, repurpose. I will be making quilts out of whatever I can get my hands on. Isn't that how it all started anyway? Necessity is the Mother of invention. Where there's a will, there's a way.

I definately will.I have MS and my doctor said that quilting probably has a big part in keeping the muscles in my hands and legs from drawing up. So that's health-wise. Brain-wise,quilting gives me something to focus on daily. I can't work anymore,so without quilting my mind would just be occupied with what I couldn't do . Then there's money-wise. Making and selling quilts is what provides birthdays,Christmas,and most important home insurance, home repair, and furnture replacement as it is needed. |
