And at the beginning of January another $140 on holiday fabric. That $560 so far this year, I'm way over my share.

That's not including the $300 the day after thanksgiving. When is the QA (quilters annymous) meeting. Oh well, just one stitch at a time.

The meetings were cancelled since all the quilters were either busy sewing or shopping for fabric. lol.

I don't know one quilter that spends less then $200 a year on quilting/sewing. How is that possible? LOL

$171 a year, come on. I sneak that much out of the grocery budget.

I laugh at that figure of $171 per quilter per year. I do that 3 or for times a year on batting alone. Maybe the figure was intended to show a monthly average.
Or is this figure wrong because of all the creative ways we fabric addicts have found to hide our recent purchases of stash, gadgets, and quilting necessities!!!! ;-) wink
Guess it doesn't really matter when you realize - we are helping to get the economy back on track. I'm proud to admit I'm an overage investor!
There has that for justification.

I'm wondering how they came up with these figures. Nobody talked to me!!
