Even though my stash is small i have enough fabric to keep me going for quite awhile.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786984489773680103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1154578672108886062006-08-03T00:17:00.000-04:002006-08-03T00:17:00.000-04:00I think the quilting savings account is very pract...I think the quilting savings account is very practical. New fabrics are always coming out, so what you could buy now may not be what you want to quilt with in 10 or 20 years. This way you can buy what appeals to you when you are ready to use it. And the cash doesn't need nearly as much storage room!SusanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799662324337358683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1154574059679190852006-08-02T23:00:00.000-04:002006-08-02T23:00:00.000-04:00I like the idea of a quilting savings account.

Then when I want to start a project, I find myself running to the fabric store. Doesn't make any sense. lol.<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of a savings account. But, I think it would be nice to use now. (At least for me, retirement is another 25 years away for me.) Maybe this way I wouldn't feel so guilty about spending money on fabric when I already have that money earmarked for it. Great idea!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754725497142403932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1154527400322548102006-08-02T10:03:00.000-04:002006-08-02T10:03:00.000-04:00Wow, this post has so much to think about.

One point that are really hits home for me it the impulse buying of fabric I like but just buying a FQ or a half yard, and then not having enough when I want to use it.<BR/><BR/>And on hoarding fabric--I look at some fabrics that called to me when my eyes fell on them in the fabric store, but when they came home and settled in with my stash, I never heard another peep out of them.<BR/><BR/>Love the idea of a "quilting 401K"!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1154526891035915522006-08-02T09:54:00.000-04:002006-08-02T09:54:00.000-04:00I'd much rather find I don't like the look now tha...I'd much rather find I don't like the look now than after I've cut into my carefully hoarded black/white/red music fabric collection.<BR/><BR/>Oh my gosh that sounds so familiar :o) I like your idea of using focus fabric & go withs...
