I just went back and read several pages of replies to this thread. This is the best conversation ever!!!!!

I replied earlier, but then i went to the basement to see if i should reconsider the amount, I don't know where to begin. There is just too much down here. Fabric is coming out of places that i forgot about, I must have been in a hurry to hide.

That was toooooooooooo funny. Thank you am having one of those days - a good chuckle was needed.

All I can think of is my walk in clothes closet, that can't be walked into, because of all the fabric I am hiding from DH.

When it comes to anything having to do with my quilting, my husband and I have the same policy ad the military..... Don't ask, don't tell. It sorus out well this way (so far)

Jeananne

you can take fabric and sewing supplies and stuff off of your taxes? How? Please share!

I remember when my DH used to complain about the cost of fabric when I wanted to make a dress or blouse or pants. Finally instead of arguing I took him to the best store in town (where he bought me BD and Christmas presents) and made him look at the sales tags on some of the clothing there. I then led the shell shocked man out to the car and drove him home.
This was good for a couple of years.

Another way to get around it is to put a dress, shoes, fabric, into the closet and exclaim in wonder when he questions it "Why, no dear, it's not new. It's been in the closet for so long I've forgotten about it almost." Truthfully, it may have been put away yesterday, but without mentioning how long "so long" was you're not telling a lie.

my hubby never goes in to my sewing room nor does he know the value of material so i guess i would be in the samr spot you are in ------> do i tell or not ???

Omigawd! I never thought of that! I'm sure what I have is worth at least $3,000 plus all the machines, serger, etc.
Hmmm - will have to talk with the agent. Up goes the premium.

I think I would just mumble a nominal figure and cross my fingers that I never really need to know how much stash $$ amount I have.
