According to my math that figures out to be less than $.30 a piece! What a bargain. You are set for life! lol

I can do that and I can even get slower...But I would not make it much past my next retirement check. I am putting any one who agrees to this on my emergency prayer list. This is serious.

thanks for the giggle! I so agree, I wouldn't last 2 weeks! And mine already does the cooking, cleaning and no way is he doing my laundry!

There is a support group here. Go to: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-149950-1.htm
It should help.

NO this does not count against your diet UNLESS you intentionally went to buy fabric. This is my revision to rule #4 of the handbook "HELP-I Am A Fabriholic" copies of rules are available upon request

I told my husband I needed a bigger car with a bigger trunk to hide my stash...I know one lady who put her fabric bought at a quilt shop into grocery bags to get the fabric in her house.

How many men 'hide' their treasures???????? And, why do we have to do anything to the fabric! Just looking at it makes me happy. I even pet the fabric now and then.

Went way overboard on Ebay and now have a fortune in tubs to relocate my stash...but I can see what I have and not just a wall of cardboard boxes marked 'fabric' :-)
