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.

$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.
