    Love material, there is no such thing as too much! I'm trying to taper off on the buying but it is soooo hard to do!

    My husband used to complain found out it doesn't do any good.

    But I have been good for the last couple of years I don't buy like I use too.

    too many medical bills.

    My husband tells me since I say nothing about all his woodworking purchases, he doesn't care about a few dollars here or there for my fabrics. I have to be frugal though because I don't have much room to store it. LOL!! We gave away several hundred pounds of fabrics when we moved into our motorhome. It was so difficult for me and now I'm really sad because so many times I could really use something I'd had.

    My husband golfs and he's always buying raffle tickets etc. so he doesn't say a word about my fabric packages. He also really likes the quilts I make and loves that I donate some to his favorite charities.

    BTW, every year my family asks me what i want for Christmas and I never have any ideas, except for things that cost >$500. But just this week when I was making out an order to CT I realized that I could e-mail them the links to all the quilting items I want from various online sites and that's what they could choose from.

    I get CT packages all the time. DH knows it's my favorite quilting store just like I know Cabela's is his favorite hunting/camping store. Did you know if you buy a lot from Cabela's during the year, you get a special leather bound catalog each year? DH gets one every year!

    I've moved mind many times!!! Don't know which is heavier -- the material or BOOKS? Which ever, the kids always complained -- but then turn around and ask for something from the stash to be made into something for them.
