    It's me. I swore I would not stash build, and what am I doing, stash building. When I found I could buy a whole bolt for $2.38 a yard I kind of went nuts. Also when people on this Board have blenders for $4.25 a yard, what can you do?

    You are correct. I want to know who isn't pulling their weight because I sure spend more than that a year. lol

    I'd say that makes us a pretty influential group! Hear that Walmart?

    Footnote (remember those?)
    I think that figure might include gallery quilt purchases. The whole story is in the newspaper.

    Thanks for checking my math. Here I thought I was being pretty budget conscious. Who is the fairly large group, then that isn't spending that much? Many are spending significantly more.

    That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't that be $171 per year? per person? Can't be right.

    If I could keep my spending under $200 Per Year that would be news worthy!
    I am holding up my end plus a few others!

    If you looked at my stash, it's easy to believe the $3.6B number.
