At each harbour we sailed into, top of the shopping list was finding a quilt shop. Over the years food lockers became places to stash fabric! After 6 years living this lifestyle we had quilts adoring banks, two sewing machines NOT including a Featherweight! My obsession has only grown now that we have 'swallowed the anchor' and are land based in Australia, with a large sewing space!Quilting Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367366992369259229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-92051538868489219972017-06-06T13:57:45.523-04:002017-06-06T13:57:45.523-04:00Absolutely fabulous!

My husband would not know the cost of the materials or the templates I buy and he believes in privacy so never peeks at my credit card statements even though I leave them laying around! And if he does do I care? He spends happily on his toy, the boat, the holiday home, the tools in the shed he never uses and now all the toys he buys so he can watch TV anywhere in the house, so I have a case to present even though I am an accountant , not a lawyer and I made him understood we trust each other not to get in trouble with money and it worked for 44 years and we are still happily married! Never ever half the price etc as you get into trouble, always tell the truth and you will win, hehehe!<br />Saucyakld@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899588123207241640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-73042718804139821692015-09-10T09:16:12.682-04:002015-09-10T09:16:12.682-04:00I loved it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and laughed out loud any number of times.<br /><br />Although I do a great deal more garment sewing than quilting, I do have a considerable stash (I've been sewing for almost 60 years!). Just today my husband said he didn't understand why I had to have so much fabric. Why not just decide what you want to make, go and get the fabric, and make it?! (He has no idea how hard it is to find the right garment fabrics when you want them....)<br /><br />Of course, *I* don't understand why he still has old thermostats, etc., rescued from the years he did customer service for the gas company (someone would get a thermostat replaced, and instead of pitching the old one, which was still good, he'd keep it). But that's different, right?! LOLCharlotte Trayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175205627078109573noreply@blogger.com
