Can we be too frugal with quilting supplies?

Atleast you can smile about it, it will all be worth it when you pull it from the dryer, so fresh and beautiful!

Yes, we have all done that and Yes, that is how we can justify all our extras. I collect/buy all that I can when I go to garage sales/Goodwill/Thrift Store/Local Methodist Market....all fabric, thread, lace, ribbon, etc....You just never know when you will need it. And when I pass over to the Great Big Quilt Shop in the Sky, some lucky person will buy my stuff at Goodwill.

I was in a thrift store in a neighboring town today. They had a cute little quilt rack for $2. I was going to pick it up on my way out. It slipped my mind - now do I spend the time and gas to go back for it?

Been there, done that. My husband finally learned to encourage me to be sure I bought enough or a little extra just so we didn't have the headaches caused by not having quite enough! LOL! That was a big step for him.
