I too have been choosy lately in buying (with a little splurge with birthday $ around the holidays - I was told to not buy anything 'useful' with it! - I got fabric and quilting goodies!) I think as we are more creative with our existing fabrics we do make some wonderful looking quilts. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.Deb Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206921657695916898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-43426124280043933002013-01-09T07:05:29.917-08:002013-01-09T07:05:29.917-08:00I'm totally with you Audrey on your comments a...I'm totally with you Audrey on your comments about being fabric frugal and using up what you have. You are carrying on in the true tradition of being a quilter and creating beautiful quilts from creativity. I think your quilts are lovely. <br />McKennaMcKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470791593576032851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-17646068964251922312013-01-08T11:53:33.912-08:002013-01-08T11:53:33.912-08:00When you think about it patchwork was invented out...When you think about it patchwork was invented out of being thrifty with leftover pieces of fabric, so it's a perfect hobby in these times. Plus I love your fabric choices, nothing weird as far as I can see.

I wish you...Happy New Year to you and your family! I wish you lots of quilty fun in this year. Congrats on your hand-quilting progress! It's looking great.<br /><br />The budget is a big reality for most of us nowadays, isn't it? I know I don't have the $$ to spend that I used to. And fabric has become very expensive. Of course, I probably don't NEED to ever buy fabric again either, if I just look in my stash. But I have become pretty tight with my money, and buy carefully now, and rarely. It can be fun to be thrifty. And my quilts will never be all new fabrics. Fortunately, I like the old make-do look in quilts. I like your idea that a few new fat quarters can make a difference in your quilt and your outlook - how true!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-62893178790141391882013-01-07T12:38:32.120-08:002013-01-07T12:38:32.120-08:00OH, I feel the same way about the quilt I am worki...OH, I feel the same way about the quilt I am working on. The outer borders seem to go on forever.<br />There is no reason to feel guilty as long as you are taking care of your family. Quilting keeps us sane and helps me and probably you too, relax!<br />Use what you have just as women before us have. We really don't need to buy what we don't need. Enjoy your hobby!Carrie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10063988589711911820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-44205561947387044472013-01-07T09:25:17.770-08:002013-01-07T09:25:17.770-08:00Financial challenges do provide creative challenge...Financial challenges do provide creative challenges for sure. I am very careful with my quilting money and very rarely buy "for fun"...only what I "need".<br />And I never feel guilty about it because it is my sanity, my "escape", my relaxation, and my hobby, so it's quite cheap when you think about it! LOL<br />Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching! Love your border grid!Quilter Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870660916547202929noreply@blogger.com
