    I quilt and my husband does wood working. his tools cost big bucks. Come to think about it his wood cost big bucks.
    My projects take longer to make than his. I win!!!! I should buy more to keep up with him.

    Just goes to show that there are more quilters than any other hobby. Woot woot! Our quilting touches more lives and touches them longer than any of the above mentioned hobbies. What a good investment in society we have! Spread the love!

    I never thought much about how much I spent. But, my husband called the first quilt I made the "million dollar blanket". I guess he kept track of my spending more than I did.

    Glad someone did the math on this subject. $169.00 a year isn't alot of money and it is cheaper than a "shrink" that's for sure. Plus fulfilling for the soul.

    My FIL who is usually a penny pincher regarding material things, paid $1000. for a putter. I don't think it putts any better than a $50 one. I know he pays $150for a green fee and uses a cart. This used to be 3 or 4 times a week. He doesn't get to play as much since his wife has been ill and needs someone with her all of the time.
