171.43 per quilter. Last week I spent $300 on batiks, yesterday I spent $110 for backing and red and blue fabric for soldiers. The end of February I spent $140 on batiks for my Dresden plate quilt. 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.

with the Joann's ssale - I am way ahead of my share for this year ! I almost always buy on sale - so I figure I get more than my share all teh time and the stash keeps getting bigger - maybe one day I will be able to qit working so I can quilt more than on the weekends - and use up the stash ! - wishful thinking probably !

Loved it ~ too funny. Um, sadly, I think I am along these lines myself. I refuse to go back over the year and prove it up. :shock:

From Don-isewman. That 3.6 billion, for fabric, will have a $$ increase more, on April 9th. My quilt guild is planning a bus trip, to go to 4 or 5 quilt shop's that day. So I've been saving my nickel's and dimes. Don-isewman

If we each spend around $171.00 each then I have $100.00 to go. Look out shops, here I come. LOL Oh, I guess I had better wait, it's early in the year yet.
