You can't really put a price on doing something you love but I was surprised when I totted it all up how much of an investment I had made in my new hobby! I love your family suggesting you open your own quilt shop!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507562992976793622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-24610503801379953862013-10-25T20:07:46.281+01:002013-10-25T20:07:46.281+01:00I know what you mean about the wheels turning when...I know what you mean about the wheels turning when you see material you like. It's hard to resist pretty fabric and even harder to resist the ideas of the possible items it can be turned into!

I have far too much fabric, quilt books, magazines, and all the quilting gear that goes with it.My grown children helped load the truck, so they think I should open a quilt shop :-) And, I have 7 sewing machines that each do different functions, three are vintage Singers. I am a dedicated quilter on most counts. Of course all of this was purchased over the last 20 years, and I do buy my tools, books and fabric on sale.And, I agree with Happy Cottage Quilter it is a source of joy and therapy for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033973653596017001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-83861291139647154052013-10-24T22:02:21.069+01:002013-10-24T22:02:21.069+01:00I think it is very true. I have been quilting for...I think it is very true. I have been quilting for almost 25 years and it always surprises me how many quilters there are now. When I started quilting, you could hardly find 100% cotton fabric. Now it is everywhere. I see women looking at fabric, and the wheels turning in their brain. The resurrection of quilting must have to do with a persons desire to create. Quilting can be simple or very artistic. So many options. I just like to quilt. Oh and it's my therapy :-)Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.com
