He doesn't understand that it takes more than a couple of yards to make a quilt. this snecking is one of the reasons I am trying to get him interestedin quilting.

Believe it or not, since then I just make sure my house bills are paid then if I come across fabric I want for my stash I buy it with no hiding or shame. I figure I do my contribution by working, being a good woman, keeping a clean house, etc. If I want to purchase fabric I do. Of course now it is getting to the point of I am running out of space in my very small sewing room!

However, you hiding things made me think of a friend from long ago. She would buy clothes and bring them home and throw them into the dryer. Next day she would come out wearing the item. Her Dh would ask, "Isn't that new? " Her reply, "NO, I just got it out of the dryer."
